What it pairs with

  • Grilled Salers beef ribeye
    Iron mineral tannins and the finest French beef are a natural match.
  • Slow-roasted wild boar shoulder
    The wine's weight and mineral character meets slow-cooked game.
  • Aged Comté cheese
    Nutty aged cheese softens the wine's powerful tannins.

History

Rene Rostaing inherited parcels on La Landonne from his father-in-law Albert Dervieux and began the separate bottling in 1971. The ferrous, iron-rich schist of the Cote Brune defines the wine's mineral character.
