This Grand Cru Pinot Noir offers a heavenly nose of roses, strawberry, plum, dark currant, and a whisper of forest floor, complemented by discreet wood notes. On the palate, it's dense yet open, velvety, and approachable, with focused, powerful flavors, evident minerality, and a long, spicy finish that speaks purely of its origins.

It pairs perfectly with red meat dishes such as grilled beef, lamb in sauce, or various game meats (furred or feathered, especially roasted or braised). It also beautifully complements matured cheeses like Comté or Brie de Meaux. 🥂 An exceptional choice for a grand celebration, a significant milestone, or a serious tasting among Burgundy aficionados. Its depth, complexity, and ability to age make it a prized addition to any cellar, promising an evolving and captivating experience. Serve between 16-18°C (60-64°F).
