Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows a vibrant, medium ruby hue with a youthful brightness at the rim. The nose is expressive and inviting, opening with sweet red berries, ripe cherries and juicy plums, layered with notes of black truffle, forest floor and a hint of warm spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a generous core of red and dark fruit wrapped in supple, fine-grained tannins. Lively acidity lifts the fruit and keeps the wine fresh and energetic, while the savory undertones of earth and truffle add depth and complexity. The finish is charming and persistent, with a mouthcoating texture that invites another sip. Enjoyable now for its openness and demonstrative character, it has the structure to develop additional nuance over the next 8–10 years under good cellaring conditions.

Production
Clos de la Mignotte is a premier cru vineyard in Beaune, benefiting from classic Burgundian terroir with limestone-rich soils and good drainage that naturally limit yields and enhance concentration. The Pinot Noir grapes are typically harvested by hand to allow for careful selection in the vineyard, preserving only healthy, optimally ripe bunches. In the cellar, vinification tends to follow traditional Burgundian methods, with gentle extraction to respect the finesse of Pinot Noir, followed by maturation in oak barrels to polish the tannins and integrate subtle spice, while allowing the vineyard character to shine through.

Food & Serving
This Beaune 1er Cru pairs beautifully with dishes that echo its savory, earthy nuances and supple texture: roast chicken with herbs, duck breast, veal chops, pork tenderloin, or mushroom-based dishes such as risotto with truffles or wild mushrooms. It also complements mild, semi-soft cheeses like Brie, Reblochon or Tomme. Serve at around 15–16°C (59–61°F) to highlight its aromatic complexity and freshness. Young bottles benefit from a light decant of 30–45 minutes to allow the aromatics to fully unfurl.
