Tasting Note
Fresh dark cherry and raspberry with violet florals, spice and a stony, saline core; fine, mineral‑laced tannins, lively acidity and medium‑plus body ending on a persistent savory finish.

Food Pairing
Roast duck, coq au vin, beef bourguignon, mushroom risotto; Peking duck, Korean bulgogi, char siu, miso‑glazed salmon.

Production Method
Hand‑harvested old‑vine Pinot Noir; co‑vinified parcels with substantial whole‑cluster inclusion (~45%), matured in ~25% new oak and aged through multiple winters. Certified organic from 2021.

Vineyard Info
Family domaine run by François Labet (Labet family of Château de la Tour), ~9–10 ha across Beaune and Gevrey with some Côte de Nuits holdings; traditional, low‑intervention and increasingly organic practices.
