Notes:
- Aromas: The nose leads with generous, ripe red and dark fruits—think wild raspberry, dark cherry, and a touch of wild plum. Because it is a 1er Cru, you'll also pick up complex secondary notes like damp earth (sous-bois), subtle baking spices, and a hint of crushed black tea leaves or violets.
- Palate: Medium-bodied but notable for its depth. The 2019 vintage brings a wonderful plushness to the fruit, but it is kept in check by bright, lively acidity. The tannins are fine but present, giving the wine a firm backbone and a long, savory finish.
- Maturity: While approachable now due to the warmth of the 2019 vintage, this wine has the structure to age beautifully for another decade. If you open it now, consider decanting it for 30 to 60 minutes to let the aromas fully open up.
Food pairing: game and poultry, class French sauced dishes like Beef Bourguignon, coq au vin, semi-soft or mild washed-rind cheeses. Brie, Camembert, or a mild Époisses
