The wine comes from the Premier Cru Beauregard vineyard in Santenay , a commune known for its delicate and more accessible Burgundy wines compared to the more northern regions.

Nose:

The wine has a complex and refined aroma with notes of ripe red berries such as cherries and raspberries, complemented by subtle hints of forest floor, spices, light smoke and vanilla from the barrel ageing. After some time in the glass it develops floral notes and a touch of licorice.

Taste:

On the palate, the wine presents itself with a classic Burgundian character: fine structure, silky tannins and a lively acidity that creates balance. The taste offers red fruits, spices and light toast , and the finish is long and mineral with a pleasant dryness.

Serving suggestions:

An ideal companion to poultry, veal, mushrooms, and lighter game dishes or a classic boeuf bourguignon . Best served at 14–16 °C and preferably after a short aeration in a carafe.

Conclusion:
