    The wine

    This 100% Pinot Noir from clay-chalk soil and 100-year-old vines is produced in a quantity of 6000 bottles per year. Sustainable growth, harvests by hand, total destemming, and twelve months of maturation contribute to the superb character of this wine with its ruby red colour and bright glints of raspberry pink. Its intense aromas of ripe fruit develop animal hints over time. On the palate, the wine is velvety with a lovely, tannic structure. To bring out its best qualities, open the bottle a few hours before serving. It will pair perfectly with grilled or roasted red meat, as well as light game dishes.
