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).
