Tasting Notes
Expect a bright ruby color with youthful clarity in the glass. The nose is typically lifted and detailed, with red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry and subtle floral tones, alongside fine spice, earth and a gentle savory edge. On the palate, this wine should be supple yet focused, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and a polished, mineral-driven finish. The Epenottes climat often delivers a graceful balance of fruit and structure, giving the wine good cellaring potential and the ability to gain complexity over the next 5–10 years, or longer in a strong vintage.

Production
Sourced from the Beaune 1er Cru Epenottes vineyard in Burgundy, this cuvée comes from a site known for producing Pinot Noir with finesse, tension and expressive red-fruited character.

Food & Serving
