Premier Cru Burgundy

A bright and lively color, what a beauty! The aromas of this beautiful Beaunoise evoke black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), red fruit (cherry, redcurrant), undergrowth, humus and with age, truffle, leather and spices. On the palate, this First Cru is elegant with melted tannins.

Food and wine pairings: Generous, this Premier Cru shows great aromatic power and a fleshy texture, which predestines it for meats, such as game, roasted or braised. Beef "Bourguignon", duck breast, etc.

For cheese, choose Camembert or other Creme de Burgoon soft cheeses such as soumaintrain, munster and maroilles.

Serving temperature: between 15 C° and 18 C°.
