Tasting notes: This wine reveals a complex, multi-layered character that unfolds beautifully in the glass. The well-aged pinot noir displays its classic varietal hallmarks through a structured profile. On the nose, pine aromas lead the way, followed by subtle vanilla notes. The palate shows bright, refreshing acidity balanced by red fruit flavors. The oak nuances from barrel aging weave through the wine, leading up to a fruity finish.

Pairing Suggestions

Grilled salmon, chicken with mushroom sauce, dishes featuring mushrooms such as mushroom risotto or grilled portobello's, pork chops, coq-au-vin, boeuf bourguignon, and soft cheeses like brie or camembert, or harder cheeses such as comté and emmental.

How it was made

This elegant pinot noir showcases wild berries handpicked at optimal ripeness. Vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve its pure fruit character, the wine then matured for ten months in seasoned 225L French oak barrels (second and forth year use). This careful aging in older barrels adds to the wine's natural characteristics while adding subtle complexity. The result is a beautifully rounded wine with vibrant fruit notes complemented by pine nuances and a subtle smoky undertone. The palate is full and harmonious, perfectly balancing fruit with gentle oak influence.
