Awards/Ratings
Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy) 90-92 (recommended drinking 2028–2033). Burghound (Allen Meadows) praised as an excellent Chambolle village, 'outstanding'

Tasting Note
Elegant red-cherry and raspberry fruit with floral perfume, delicate spice and mineral lift; silky, refined mid-palate and a youthfully austere, lingering finish (pure, midweight, very Chambolle-like).

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, mushroom risotto, roast lamb, charcuterie, soft cheeses. Asian: Peking duck, miso-glazed salmon, grilled teriyaki dishes, Korean bulgogi, shiitake and soy-based dishes.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Pinot Noir; mostly destemmed, cool pre-fermentation maceration, gentle extraction, limited new oak (20–30%), aged ~15–18 months in barrel; low-intervention approach.

Vineyard Info
