Awards/Ratings
Other 2021 Michel Noëllat cuvées have received moderate-to-high scores from critics

Tasting Note
Ripe dark cherry and raspberry with rose-petal florals, baking spice and earthy undergrowth. Fine-grained tannins, bright acidity and subtle French-oak spice lead to a long, mineral finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, lamb, beef Wellington, mushroom risotto, aged Comté or Époisses. Asian: Peking duck, char siu, Korean BBQ short ribs, miso-glazed dishes, shiitake and soy braised pork.

Production Method
Hand-harvested, destemmed, fermented with native yeasts in temperature-controlled vats, aged ~16 months in French oak barrels (≈50% new).
