Grown on vines aged 50 years, this Premier Cru Pinot Noir has a floral bouquet and silky tannins. The 2006 vintage was rated 16/20 in the 2009 edition of Guide Bettane et Desseauve. Best after extensive aging.

  • A lively, medium-bodied Pinot Noir with plenty of bright red fruit. Young, but elegant. The bright acidity on this wine makes it a great pairing with cheeses.

    Food pairing: Cheese and fruit

  • Don’t let first impressions put you off! With a little patience — and swirling in the glass — this wine begins to offer scents of leather, nutmeg, citrus notes, and eventually cherries and resiny herbal scents. Similarly evolves on the palate — closed at first, but rapidly showing a nice layer of cherry fruit. Rustic tannins at present, but likely to improve with age. A sleeper-wine, but a good one! One to watch as it improves with age.

    Food pairing: Duck; roasted chicken dishes; rabbit, venison, or other game; lamb; mushroom or lentil dishes
