Ornate aromas of ripe raspberry, dark cherry, and forest floor fill the glass. The palate is silky and laced with juicy red fruits and an exquisite mid-palate minerality. The finish exudes elegance and a remarkable length. At release, this is an approachable, food friendly bottling of Premier Cru Pinot Noir from one of the most highly regarded vineyards in Santenay. If given the proper time in the cellar, it will continue to enhance and evolve for decades.
