Awards/Ratings
Burghound: 89–92 (Jan 2020). Jancis Robinson (barrel note): detailed vinification note — high whole‑cluster % and ~40% new oak (2019/2020). Widely reviewed by specialist Burgundy retailers and merchants; no single major international award listed for the 2018 Les Sentiers

Perfumed and elegant: red cherry and raspberry, rose petal and lavender, subtle spice, forest‑floor and mocha. Silky texture, bright acidity and refined tannins with a saline, mineral finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, pan‑seared salmon, lamb rack, mushroom risotto. Asian: Peking duck, char siu or roasted pork, miso‑glazed fish, shiitake/soy braised dishes.

Hand‑harvested Pinot Noir; significant whole‑cluster inclusion, gentle extraction; aged ~13 months in French oak (≈40% new), bottled without fining or filtration.
