Tasting Note
Perfumed Musigny: red and black cherry, raspberry, rose and violet florals with star‑anise, vanilla spice, forest‑floor and iron minerality. Silky, sappy core, fine‑grained tannins, bright acidity and a very long, poised finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, duck à l'orange, lamb, mushroom risotto, beef Wellington. Asian: Peking/Cantonese roast duck, miso‑glazed black cod, soy‑ginger seared duck, char siu, mushroom ramen.

Production Method
100% Pinot Noir; hand‑harvested, fully de‑stemmed, native‑yeast fermentation in open vats; ~18 months in French oak with low new oak (~15%); bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Vineyard Info
