It's got that classic Pommard power, but with a lovely elegance that only comes with age.

Tasting notes

Alright, let's talk about what's in the glass! Pour this beauty and you'll see a gorgeous, deep ruby colour. Give it a sniff, and you'll pick up classic dark cherry and blackcurrant notes, mingling with a hint of earthy forest floor and maybe a touch of spice. It's inviting!

Take a sip, and you'll find it's got a lovely richness and structure. Those dark fruits come through beautifully, backed by a savoury complexity and well-integrated tannins that give it a satisfying grip without being aggressive. There's a freshness too, keeping it lively. The finish is long and elegant, leaving you wanting another sip.

This is a wine that loves food! Think a perfectly grilled steak, a rich mushroom risotto, or even some Cantonese roast goose. It's got the backbone to stand up to bold flavours and will make any meal feel a bit more special. Seriously good stuff!
