Awards/Ratings
High critical scores: Vinous (Neal Martin) 92–94, Jasper Morris MW 95–97, Allen Meadows/Burghound ~93–95; commonly cited average ~95/100; noted for whole‑bunch complexity and long ageing potential

Tasting Note
Perfumed red and black fruit—cherry, raspberry, blueberry—layered with violet, crushed herb and subtle spice. Medium‑full bodied, sappy acidity, fine whole‑cluster tannins, mineral core and a structured, long finish that will open with bottle age.

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, lamb, beef short ribs, mushroom risotto, aged cheeses. Asian: Peking duck, char siu, miso‑glazed fish, umami mushroom ramen, Korean bulgogi.

Production Method
Biodynamic viticulture; 100% whole‑cluster fermentation with gentle extraction; matured ~12 months in French oak (approx. 30% new).
