Blend

100% Pinot Noir, sourced from 50-year-old vines, providing remarkable concentration and aromatic richness.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Bright ruby hue with garnet reflections, indicative of a young but promising wine.

Nose: Highly aromatic, with intense notes of black cherry, raspberry, blackberry, and a floral touch of violet. Secondary aromas of undergrowth, sweet spices, and vanilla enrich the bouquet.

Palate: Ample and silky, with fine, well-integrated tannins. Ripe red fruit flavors blend with subtle woody and mineral notes, leading to an elegant and persistent finish.

Aging Potential

Enjoy now for its freshness and vivacity, but it will develop greater complexity over 8 to 10 years of cellaring.

Food Pairing

Perfect with roasted duck breast, poultry with mushrooms, or veal fillet in red wine sauce. Cheese lovers will appreciate its pairing with Époisses or truffled Brie.
