The most delicate Dujac grand cru, all rose, red berry and silk over a fine mineral frame.

What it pairs with

  • Coq au vin
    A Burgundy braise of rooster in red wine mirrors the cuvee's own dark-fruit and forest-floor register.
  • Pate en croute lyonnais Find pate en croute lyonnais on TableJourney →
    The pastry-wrapped terrine's fat and pistachio echo a structured Pinot's red fruit and gentle tannin.
  • Epoisses de Bourgogne
    The washed-rind cow's-milk cheese's pungent cream needs a wine with grip and acidity to balance it.
