Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Grilled, yogurt-marinated lamb skewers with cinnamon-spiced couscous
  • Rosemary and whole grain mustard-crusted leg of lamb with roasted fingerling potatoes
  • Pan-roasted veal rib chops with root vegetable gratin

Quite bold and opaque for a Burgundian Pinot, this top-notch organic bottling from the Côtes de Nuits displays rich layers of spice, black licorice, and sweet blueberry fruit. Floral and mineral, with excellent depth, sleek tannins, lively acidity, and tons of dark Pinot character.
