Tasting Note
Cherry and red berry core with black cherry, subtle forest floor, iron and baking spice. Medium‑full, satiny texture, fresh acidity and firm yet ripe tannins, finishing long and savoury with a mineral edge.

Food Pairing
Roast duck, confit, lamb chops, beef stew, mushroom risotto, aged comté or Gruyère; Asian pairings: Peking duck, char siu, bulgogi, miso aubergine, soy‑glazed mushrooms, grilled yakitori (chicken thigh).

Production Method
Hand‑harvested, careful sorting, traditional maceration with partial whole clusters; native or selected yeast fermentation and 12–16 months ageing in French oak (c.20–30% new).

Vineyard Info
