Made from Pinot Noir grapes, this Premier Cru from Burgundy reveals a ruby red colour in the glass and intense aromas of red fruits, accompanied by hints of liquorice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, generous and supported by a good acidity. Pleasant and ready to drink even when young, it reaches its full potential if decanted for about an hour.
