The 2021 vintage is described as having an expressive nose and decent palate, feeling like a cooler vintage, and being very well done for its classification and price.

It can show notes reminiscent of Gevrey, Vosne, and Fixin. 🍴 Pairs wonderfully with roast white meats, braised dishes, meaty fish, and red sauce dishes.
