What it pairs with
-
Saddle of lamb with rosemary jus
The power and concentration of old-vine Chenas suits a roast lamb centrepiece. -
Venison with red fruit compote
Game meat's iron and mineral character resonates with granitic Chenas. -
Aged Gruyere de Comte
Classic hard mountain cheese with crystalline texture suits the wine's depth.
History
The Vieilles Vignes selection from Domaine du Granit draws from the oldest Gamay vines in the estate, some over 60 years of age. More concentrated and age-worthy than the classique.
- 2005 — Old-vine Chenas first produced at Domaine du Granit
