Presentation
Because the vineyards are located in-between the Pyrenees to the South and the Black Mountains to the North, they enjoy a privileged climatic position where the excesses of the Mediterranean climate are tempered by the softness of the Atlantic influences. This extraordinary mixture - where the days are sunny and warm, where the wind blows almost continuously and where the nights are cool, produces amazing Pinot Noir.

Tasting
Captures senses with floral scents including violet and flowering wild thyme. Raspberry liquorish entices further along with wild strawberry, dark cherries, tobacco & spice. The palate is juicy but balanced by rich forest floor, clove and savory flavors. Good tension between acid and fine tannins offers a well-rounded palate with appealing length.
Food pairings
Good pairings: Charcuterie, ham and other cold meats. Patés and terrines. Classic French dishes with light creamy sauces such as rabbit or kidneys with a mustard sauce. Goat cheese. Grilled asparagus. Spring vegetables such as peas.
