Awards/Ratings
merchant tasting notes describe it as a high-quality 2022 Grand Cru (examples: Aether, Grandsbourgognes, Broekmans). One merchant estimate lists Burghound range ~90–93

Tasting Note
Concentrated dark and red berries (black cherry, raspberry), violet florals, spice and mineral lift. Powerful yet refined with firm, fine-grained tannins and a long, savory finish showing subtle truffle and forest-floor notes with age.

Food Pairing
Western: roast leg of lamb, beef short ribs, duck confit, mushroom risotto, aged Comté or Gruyère. Asian: Peking duck, char siu (Cantonese BBQ pork), soy‑braised beef short ribs, miso mushrooms, Korean BBQ (galbi).

Production Method
Hand-harvested Pinot Noir; gentle fermentations with modest extraction, followed by ~16–18 months élevage in oak barrels with a portion of new oak. Traditional Burgundian cellar practices.
