The Côte de Nuits-Villages comes from the southern end of the prestigious Côte de Nuits. The appellation extends across the villages of Fixin, Brochon, Premeaux, Comblanchien and Corgoloin, offering a wonderful introduction to the character of the great Pinot Noirs from this part of Burgundy. On clay-limestone soils, Pinot Noir develops a harmonious profile combining fruit, freshness and structure.

Appearance: Beautiful, bright and luminous ruby red.

Nose: Highly aromatic, with notes of wild cherry, liquorice and sweet spices, developing delicate nuances of forest floor and mushroom with age.

Palate: Harmonious and well balanced, combining fine tannins, freshness and a generous texture. The finish is elegant and persistent, with attractive red fruit flavours.

Food Pairing: Ideal with roast poultry, duck breast, pork fillet, beef bourguignon, mushroom-based dishes or mature cheeses.
