Awards/Ratings
Reviewed by William Kelley (The Wine Advocate) — perfumed tasting note; commercial listings reference Robert Parker/Wine Advocate commentary. Some merchants list an RP range 89–91 for this cuvée. Producer noted for strong critic support and consistent scores

Tasting Note
Perfumed red with sweet berries, peony, orange rind, spice and plum; medium–full body, supple, velvety texture, melting tannins and a seamless, saline-tinged finish. (Paraphrase of Wine Advocate tasting).

Food Pairing
Western: roast lamb, duck (magret), beef tournedos, mushroom risotto, charcuterie and aged cheeses. Asian: Peking duck, char siu, miso-glazed salmon, teriyaki chicken, Korean bulgogi and mushroom-based soba dishes.

Production Method
Organically farmed vineyards; hand-harvested, vinified with appreciable whole-cluster content (non-éraflé), minimal intervention, aged in French oak (~12–18 months, portion new). (Estimate from domaine practices).

Vineyard Info
Historic family estate run by François Labet (linked to Château de la Tour); ~9–10 ha across Côte de Beaune/Côte de Nuits, focused on low yields and organic/sustainable viticulture (organic certification from 2021).
