Aroma: black cherry, spice, earth, violet

Palate: dark berry, mocha, mineral, truffle

A rich, generous Clos de Vougeot with dark fruit, spice and a fleshy mid-palate.

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.
