Production Details Fruit came from one 0.41-hectare parcel in Dezize-lès-Maranges. The vineyard was cultivated organically with mechanical soil work and ploughing. Grapes were harvested manually, sorted in the vineyard and again on a vibrating sorting table, and were 100% destemmed. Vatting lasted about 15 days with minimal intervention. The wine matured for 12 months in 350-litre barrels, including 15–20% new barrels, followed by 4–6 months in tank before bottling. The recommended serving range is 14–15°C.
Tasting Notes Powerful nose of small red fruits and undergrowth; round and fleshy palate; structured and robust, with a mineral, flinty finish; delicate, elegant and gourmand.
Food Pairing Grilled or roasted red meats such as duck breast, beef fillet or leg of lamb; coq au vin or beef stew; mature Brie de Meaux or Époisses; red-fruit tart or cherry clafoutis.
