Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a bright ruby hue with a transparent, graceful appearance in the glass. Aromatically, it leans toward fresh red berries, wild cherries, floral notes, and a subtle earthy undertone, all framed by lively freshness. On the palate, expect a supple, polished texture with crisp red fruit, gentle spice, and a fine mineral edge. It is a medium-bodied Bourgogne Rouge with balance and finesse rather than weight, making it enjoyable young, though it can develop added complexity over the next few years.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine slightly cool, around 14–16°C, to best highlight its freshness and aromatic lift. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, duck, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, and lighter game, as well as hard cheeses and dishes with earthy accents. Decanting is generally not necessary, but a brief aeration can be helpful if served very young.
