Tasting Profile (The Sommelier's View)

This wine is a classic, rewarding patience with its complex development in the bottle:

• Colour & Nose: An intense ruby hue. The initial bouquet is a refined tapestry of cherry, stone fruit, and a subtle darkness of chocolate/cocoa. With time, it develops the classic Burgundian secondary notes of truffle, game, and aged leather.
• Palate & Texture: It delivers a full-bodied experience with a texture often likened to 'silk and velvet'. The tannins are perfectly integrated, showcasing breed and depth, leading to a profound, lingering finish.

Food Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Match the Grand Cru's stature with equally refined dishes. Serve at 16-18°C (61-65°F).

• Pairings: Venison Wellington, Roast Grouse or Pheasant, Beef Fillet with Foie Gras.
• Investment: This wine offers significant ageing potential, maturing gracefully for decades.
