Morello cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant over rose petal, forest floor and a hint of black pepper with fine-grained tannins, bright acidity and a long, pure finish. Translation: an elegant, structured red Burgundy — red and dark fruit with floral and earthy lift over silky tannins and fresh acidity. Pure and ageworthy; classic Santenay finesse.

A 1er Cru red Burgundy. Exactly the bottle for guinea fowl, braised beef, duck, or soft washed-rind cheese.
