Elegant 2019 Clos St‑Denis: cool floral lift with red and black cherry, cassis, subtle spice, earth and minerality. Silky texture, concentrated mid‑palate and a long, perfumed finish.

Western: roast duck, roast lamb, mushroom risotto, beef bourguignon, aged Comté or Gruyère; Asian: Peking duck, char siu (Cantonese roast pork), miso‑glazed black cod, Korean BBQ beef bulgogi, soy‑braised mushrooms.

Production Method
Hand‑harvested Pinot Noir; partial whole‑cluster; fermentation on indigenous yeasts in open vats; aged 12–18 months in French oak (approx. 30–50% new).
