Blend

100% Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep and intense ruby color with garnet highlights.

Nose: Complex aromas of black fruits (blackberry, cassis), candied cherry, violet, and forest floor, enhanced by spicy notes (pepper, nutmeg) and a hint of cocoa.

Palate: Full-bodied and structured, with silky tannins and well-integrated acidity. Flavors of ripe black fruits, licorice, and truffle linger in a long and elegant finish marked by a refined minerality.

Ageing Potential

10 to 20 years. This wine will age beautifully in the cellar, revealing tertiary aromas of leather, tobacco, and wild mushrooms.

Food Pairings

Perfect with refined dishes such as beef tenderloin Rossini, herb-roasted leg of lamb, or game meats in sauce. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses like Beaufort or Langres.
