Tasting Note
Perfumed and floral (rose, peony) with cool-climate red cherry, raspberry, subtle spice and wet-stone mineral notes. Light–medium body, taut acidity, fine powdery tannins and a restrained, lingering, savory finish; youthful and built for medium–long ageing.

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, coq au vin, mushroom risotto, roast beef tenderloin. Asian: Peking duck, char siu pork, miso‑glazed salmon, shiitake and soy mushroom stir‑fry.

Production Method
Fully destemmed fruit, traditional vinification with careful extraction; élevage in French oak barrels with a low percentage of new oak (≈15%), typically 16–20 months.
