Tasting Note
Red and black cherry, wild strawberry, crushed rose and warm spice, with forest-floor and subtle smoked-tea notes; fine-grained tannins, bright acidity and a mineral-laced, persistent finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, coq au vin, beef bourguignon, mushroom risotto; Asian: Peking duck, hoisin-glazed pork, bulgogi/Korean BBQ, miso-glazed aubergine, mushroom hot pot.

Production Method
Estate-grown Pinot Noir; spontaneous fermentation often with substantial whole-cluster inclusion (c.20–40%), aged in French oak (variable new oak 20–40% depending on cuvée).

Vineyard Info
Small family domaine run by Sylvie Esmonin (~9–10 ha) in Gevrey-Chambertin with holdings from village to premier-cru parcels (including a small Clos Saint-Jacques parcel); traditional Burgundian practices, largely organic in approach.
