Tasting Note
Elegant Vosne pinot: cherry, raspberry, violet, subtle sandalwood and spice, with forest-floor/undergrowth notes. Silky tannins, bright acidity and a long, savory finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast lamb, entrecôte, mushroom risotto, aged Comté; Asian: Peking duck, char siu (Cantonese BBQ pork), miso-glazed salmon, shiitake or mushroom hotpot.

Production Method
Organic/biodynamic viticulture; light extraction and whole-cluster fermentation in wooden vats at low temperatures; aged in oak (limited new oak), minimal sulfur, bottled unfiltered by hand.

Vineyard Info
Small family domaine led by Jean‑Yves Bizot (since 1993). Tiny production focused on terroir-expressive Pinot Noir using low-intervention, organic/biodynamic methods; famed for precision and age-worthiness.
