Our oenologist's comments

Ruby color with reflections garnets which testify of its youth. It is brilliant and limpid thanks to a light filtration before the bottling. This last one took place after 10 months of aging in stainless tub for 70 % of the vintage and in oak barrels for the remaining 30 %. This blending of Pinot Noir from Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise reveals then a charming simplicity and a lot of greed. Indeed, the nose is rather explosive on the fruit: strawberry, currant, bilberry and cherry. Tannins are pleasant and softened without hang on. A small point of candy in the middle of mouth gets involved with aoky vanilla one discreet which persists at the end of mouth. This wine can be drunk within 2 years if we want to take advantage of its fruity character and easy to drink. Those who want to wait for it, could then find the aromas more « compotés » of stone fruits, crisis Morello cherry who are not either to displease us!

Sommelier's advice

This wine will merge very well with a varied buffet of hors d'oeuvre, fine cooked pork meats, as well as on a poultry or a grilled piece of beef. Also think of cheeses, such as a goat of Maconnais.
