Tasting Note

Perfumed red fruits (raspberry, cherry), rose petal and subtle exotic spice over loamy mineral notes. Silky, concentrated mid‑palate with plush, melting tannins and a long, sensual finish.

Food Pairing

Western: roast lamb, duck à l'orange, beef Bourguignon, mushroom risotto. Asian: Peking duck, char siu, miso‑glazed salmon, soy‑braised mushrooms, bulgogi (Korean BBQ).

Production Method

Certified biodynamic viticulture; hand-harvested and rigorously sorted. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in wooden vats (often whole‑cluster styles reported) and aged in new François Frères oak barrels; minimal intervention, typically bottled unfined/unfiltered.
