Awards/Ratings
Tasting and vintage notes: Allen Meadows/Meadow's range 86–89 for En Champs (2021). Producer tasting/vintage notes from Domaine Drouhin-Laroze and serving details. 5%

Tasting Note
Red-fruited Pinot with black cherry, poached plum, forest floor and subtle liquorice. Silky mid-palate, polished texture and a slightly austere, mildly drying finish; earthy and savoury notes emerge with age.

Food Pairing
Western: roast rabbit with mushrooms, lamb, beef fondue, Epoisses or other soft cheeses. Asian: Peking duck, hoisin- or soy-glazed pork, miso-glazed aubergine, teriyaki chicken, mushroom-based ramen.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Pinot Noir; gentle destemming and soft extraction (light punch-downs, moderate pump-overs). Aged in one-wine Allier/Nivernais oak barrels (medium to medium-plus toast) for ~12–18 months.
