ROBERT PARKER ” Moderate ruby colour – much more fleshy looking than Chambertin Grand Cru. The nose is beautifully: sweet, fleshy Pinot Noir, quite feminine with incredible purity. A little melted chocolate but still primary fruits. The palate has stunning balance with great nervosity. Very silky tannins, lighter than Chambertin, which has more black fruits rather than red. This is so sophisticated and elegant. Give it 5-8 years to develop unless you enjoy that primary Pinot Noir taste at its very best. Tasted July 2003. “

Sensory Profile & Usage
On the nose, expect a complex bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild raspberries, and subtle earthy undertones entwined with hints of leather and spice. The palate unfolds with velvety textures, balanced acidity, and lingering notes of forest floor and minerals, culminating in a long, elegant finish.
Serve slightly below room temperature to fully experience its layered character. Optimal storage in a controlled cellar environment preserves its evolving traits. Pair this exceptional Grand Cru with fine lamb, duck breast, or mature cheeses to heighten your gourmet experience.
