“A fine expression of Verzenay’s Pinot Noir terroir”
A rich and complex nose, creamy and generous, with notes of blood orange, apricot and marzipan. It conveys a beautiful ripeness of fruit, while also revealing a strong sense of terroir.
The palate is distinctive for a Pinot-based wine, unfolding with bright citrus notes, hints of kiwi skin, clementine and quinine, all underpinned by a fine mineral structure. Beautifully persistent, this is a truly unique vintage.
Enjoy with pan-seared foie gras accompanied by citrus, Bresse chicken cooked with Champagne, fish ravioli or lobster. For dessert, pair it with a citrus-led creation or a generous fruit dessert, such as poached apricots.
