Taste : Full-bodied and structured. The tannins are prominent but well-integrated, and the wine's power is nicely balanced by finesse. A rich, concentrated and characterful Pinot Noir, where strength and elegance go hand in hand.

Food pairing

The wine works excellently with hearty dishes such as veal, beef, poultry or game. Wild berries and mushrooms in cooking can further enhance the flavour.

Serving and storage potential
