Tasting Note
Dense red and black cherry fruit with Vosne spice, mineral clay richness and sweetly scented briar. Silky, finely grained tannins, lively acidity and a lush, saline-tinged finish (long and mouthcoating).

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck, mushroom risotto, lamb rack, beef bourguignon, charcuterie and aged cheeses. Asian: Peking duck, miso‑glazed salmon or cod, soy‑braised short ribs, Korean bulgogi, mushroom hot pot (nabemono).

Production Method
Organic/biodynamic vineyard practices; hand-harvested grapes; majority destemmed, indigenous yeast fermentation with gentle extraction; aged 11–18 months in French oak barrels (some new); minimal filtration.

Vineyard Info
