Aroma: dark cherry, spice, rose, earth

Palate: black fruit, graphite, mineral, truffle

A deep, structured premier cru widely held to perform at grand cru level, with dark fruit, spice and length.

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.
