Wine Region: Burgundy - France

Grape: 100% Pinot Noir. 

Tasting notes:  Dense, powerful fruit and rich colour in a full-bodied red. Aromas of dark cherries, dark chocolate and a little star anise carry through to flavours of cherry, blackberry and plum, with complex hints of cocoa, leather and mushrooms.

Smooth body, refreshing acidity and firm tannins make this a match for duck or goose—or ratatouille—that will continue to evolve for five or more years.

Expert Reviews: 
91/100 - Wine Spectator
"Features intense aromas of dark fruits, earth, and a touch of oak. The palate is robust with firm tannins and a lengthy finish "
