Pinot noir
Built in 1298 to serve as a military fortress for the Dukes of Burgundy, the castle underwent major transformations over the centuries. The 75-metre long winery and the cellars, built in 1728, are particularly remarkable and still in full use today. The wines produced at Cha?teau de Dracy have been distributed by Albert Bichot since 1905!
Tasting
The nose is fine and classy with aromas of red flowers, violets, black and dried fruit enhanced by notes of spice. The palate is fleshy, full and harmonious with good structure and lovely aromatic length.
Food/wine pairing
Ideal wine for fine red meat dishes, small game, dishes in wine sauce, and mild, delicate cheeses.
