In the glass
Aroma: minerals, capers, oregano, red berry
Palate: nuts, pepper, tobacco, cocoa
The producer describes this grand-cru Pinot Noir as showing a herbal, still-reductive, firm and mostly red-berried nose with minerals, capers and oregano; the palate is clear, taut, cool and juicy with fine tannin, nuts, pepper, tobacco and cocoa.
What it pairs with
-
Venison loin with juniper
Firm tannin, pepper and cocoa notes are built for richer game. -
Duck breast with cherry jus
Red-berry fruit in the wine echoes a cherry reduction. -
Aged Gouda
Nutty, cocoa-tinged structure matches a firm, salty cheese.
