“The elegance of Pinot Noir”

Deep black cherry color with bluish highlights.
Opulent nose of red fruits, with juicy black cherry, peony, blackcurrant, and zan on aeration.
The palate is open and generous with red and black fruit, discreet aging, silky tannins, ready for beautiful depth and development, with echoes of the limestone terroir and mature aromas.
The finish is harmonious and fruity, with a beautiful freshness typical of this Coteaux Champenois.
Don’t hesitate to decant it a few minutes before tasting!
Pair with tender red meat such as veal with chanterelle mushrooms or a leg of young wild boar cooked at low temperature.
