Awards/Ratings
Wine Spectator 94/100 for the 2017 Les Cazetiers (published Jan 2020). The cuvée has earned strong praise from Vinous, Wine Advocate and Jasper Morris across recent vintages

Tasting Note
Perfumed cranberry and redcurrant with rose petal, sandalwood and spice. Chalky minerality, vibrant acidity and fine satiny tannins; medium-bodied with a precise, saline-driven finish and long mineral aftertaste.

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, coq au vin, beef bourguignon, lamb, wild mushroom risotto, aged soft cheeses. Asian: Peking duck, char siu, soy- or miso-glazed salmon, shiitake stir-fry, teriyaki beef.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Pinot Noir; vintage-dependent partial whole-cluster fermentation; élevage in French oak barrels (c.14–18 months, variable % new); low yields and minimal chemical inputs.

Vineyard Info
Les Cazetiers: steep south‑east slope in Côte Saint-Jacques; gravelly clay‑chalk soil with white marl. Producer Olivier Bernstein (Beaune) farms old vines (c.80 years on portions) and focuses on low yields and careful élevage.
