Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Roasted wild salmon with mint salsa verde and Du Puy lentils
  • Pan seared duck breasts with brandied cherries
  • Homemade fried rice with sweet Chinese sausage, scallions, shiitake mushrooms, and baby bok choy

Clean, graceful lines and an ethereal mouthfeel make this value-priced red Burgundy entirely worth seeking out. Minty forest floor and wild berry aromas lead to a fresh, broad palate filled with sour cherries, raspberries, and cranberries. Finishes silky and long with refreshing herbal notes.
