🍓 Tasting Notes

In the glass, a lively dark red hue. On the nose: strawberry jam, juicy red berries and cherries, delicately wrapped in a hint of vanilla.

The palate is fresh and smooth, perfectly balanced between the vibrant acidity of Pinot Noir and the earthy spice of Gamay. An extra year in bottle adds a touch more complexity, though this is very much an enjoy-now style wine. The finish is silky, round and generous – a Burgundy to please everyone, any time.
