Flattering nose with an appealing palette of fruity aromas (blackcurrant, redcurrant, plum). Fleshy and balanced on the palate with oaked notes and a pleasing finish.

This Bourgogne Pinot Noir “Vieilles Vignes” (old vines) is crafted from grapes grown on vines that are between 25 and 30 years old and are located in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. The varying exposure and altitude of these vineyards allow us to create this mosaic of parcels, resulting in this wine’s beautiful complexity. The venerable age of the vines gives the wine its remarkable concentration, with straightforward, characteristic flavours that are recurrently honoured at prestigious contests.

Vinified in temperature controlled conicl oak vats and stainless steel tanks for 18-25 days. 20/30% aged in oak barrels, the other 70-80% in vats for 8-12 months.

Food Pairing: This wine is a fine match for roasted or grilled meats, poultry, vegetables and mild cheeses.
