Vinous (Neal Martin) 88–90; Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy) 90–91 — reviewers note energy, whole-cluster spice and solid aging potential

Tasting Note
Bright cherry and raspberry with rose petal, flinty minerality and light pepper from whole-cluster; earthy umami and black-olive notes. Vibrant acidity, granular tannins, medium-bodied with a long, saline finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, lamb, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, aged cheeses. Asian: miso-glazed salmon, teriyaki chicken, Korean BBQ (bulgogi), char siu, soy-miso eggplant.

Production Method
Organic/biodynamic viticulture; hand-harvested. Indigenous yeast fermentation with ~30% whole-cluster; aged 12–18 months in used French oak (≈15% new). Minimal sulfur at bottling; low-intervention winemaking.
