Tasting Note
Bright ruby with aromas of raspberry, red currant and wild strawberry. Pleasant, fruity and refreshing on the palate with light tannins and elegant finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast chicken, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, charcuterie, pork tenderloin. Asian: Peking duck, teriyaki chicken, pork belly, miso-glazed eggplant, shiitake mushroom soba. (Classic pairings for light-to-medium Pinot Noir; Joseph Drouhin recommends simple poultry/pasta pairings.)

Production Method
Total destemming; 1–2 weeks maceration/fermentation (indigenous or selected yeasts); aged 10–14 months with about 15–20% new oak. Grapes sourced from multiple Burgundian appellations.

Vineyard Info
