The 2017 vintage presents a powerful palate complemented by refreshing acidity. Aromas include cherry, oak, and smoke, with subtle hints of forest floor, cranberry, and pepper. The wine's structure is firm, with a tannic backbone that suggests excellent aging potential. Over time, it is expected to develop complex notes of dried prunes.

Winemaker

This Premier Cru Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy is a robust and expressive wine, reflecting the distinctive terroir of the Les Hauts Pruliers vineyard.

Vineyard and Winemaking:
Sourced from a 46-are parcel situated on a steep, mid-slope terrace at approximately 275 meters elevation, the vineyard features shallow brown-limestone soils mixed with pebbles, clayey silts, and limestone. The vines are around 40 years old, contributing to the wine's balance and concentration.

Food Pairing:
This wine pairs well with regional dishes in sauce, such as ham à la nuitonne, and with game meats like wild boar. Its tannic character complements full-bodied and spicy cuisines.
