Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 94 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Grand Cru Pinot Noir opens with a complex bouquet of ripe black cherry, wild strawberry, violet, and subtle forest floor, complemented by gentle spice. The palate is layered and silky, with supple tannins framing flavors of raspberry, blackcurrant, and savory earth, all underscored by vibrant acidity and refined minerality. Its long, graceful finish and harmonious structure suggest significant aging potential. This distinguished wine pairs beautifully with roasted duck breast, beef Wellington, or mature Comté cheese, while a refined Chinese dish such as crispy pork belly can also highlight its complexity.
