Aroma: dark cherry, earth, spice, iron

Palate: black fruit, graphite, mineral, truffle

A powerful, brooding Bonnes-Mares with dark fruit, iron and a firm, ageworthy structure.

What it pairs with

  • Roast venison with cassis jus
    Game meat and a blackcurrant reduction echo a grand-cru Pinot's wild fruit and firm tannin.
  • Boeuf bourguignon
    Slow-braised beef in Pinot reduction matches the wine's structure and savoury depth.
  • Epoisses de Bourgogne
    The washed-rind cow's-milk cheese's pungent cream needs a wine with grip and acidity to balance it.
