Pinot noir

One of Burgundy's 33 Grand Crus, the "Bonnes-Mares" climat is divided between the communes of Morey-Saint-Denis and particularly Chambolle-Musigny.
This flagship wine of the Côte de Nuits, where the siliceous clay soil and limestone slabs overlying white marls lend the Pinot Noir grapes that grow on this exceptional terroir their unique characteristics: power and body without sacrificing finesse and elegance, as well as exceptional cellaring potential.

Tasting

This wine expresses the exceptional character of a great terroir combined with a great grape variety. The superb nose combines notes of red and black fruit, flowers (peony, rose, violet...) and spices, which will evolve over time towards more complex scents (forest undergrowth, leather...). The rich, full-bodied, fleshy palate is supported by velvety tannins. The classy finish boasts remarkable length.

Recipe suggestion: saddle of lamb with herbs
