Tasting Note
Ripe red and black cherry, plum, violet and baking spice with subtle forest‑floor earth; medium-bodied, lively acidity, fine-grained tannins and a mineral, lingering finish.

Western: roast duck, beef bourguignon, lamb, mushroom risotto. Asian: Peking duck, char siu (Cantonese BBQ pork), miso-glazed eggplant, mushroom hot pot.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Pinot Noir; traditional fermentation in small oak/wood vats; ~13 months aging in French oak (≈30% new); rested in tank and bottled with minimal fining/filtration.

Vineyard Info
Estate of François Feuillet (Chevannes) working with oenologist David Duband; Feuillet acquired parcels in Côte de Nuits since the 1990s, producing village and premier/grand cru wines.
