Awards/Ratings
Reviewed positively by retailers and critics; Burghound (Allen Meadows) noted the 2022 Côtes de Nuits-Villages with ~89-91 points and praised its texture and balance. Other merchant tasting notes echo medium-bodied, ripe-fruited profile

Tasting Note
Bright red cherry and wild raspberry with subtle spice, earth and a hint of smoked meat; silky, medium-bodied texture with fine mineral lift and a persistent finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, roast chicken, mushroom risotto, pork tenderloin, charcuterie. Asian: Peking duck or hoisin duck, miso-glazed salmon, char siu pork, mushroom stir-fry, soy/ginger-marinated grilled pork.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Pinot Noir fermented with a portion of whole clusters, vinified in concrete/stainless vats and aged in mostly neutral (limited new) oak; low-intervention, lutte raisonnée/near-organic viticulture.

Vineyard Info
Family domaine based in Comblanchien with origins in the late 19th century; now led by Etienne Julien (5th generation) who has modernized winemaking and moved toward organic/sustainable practices.
