An elegant, perfumed Clos de Vougeot with red and black fruit and silky tannins.

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.
  • Coq au vin
    A Burgundy braise of rooster in red wine mirrors the cuvee's own dark-fruit and forest-floor register.
  • Epoisses de Bourgogne
    The washed-rind cow's-milk cheese's pungent cream needs a wine with grip and acidity to balance it.
