The entry-level wine from this house is an immediate hit. A blend of 87% Pinot Noir and 13% Gamay, from organic vineyards. Like all its wines, this cuvée matures for 18 months in 2-5 year old barrels.

Medium ruby ​​red with purple hues. Very accessible and smooth wine. In the nose you get cherries, plum and blackberries, more black than red fruit. Nice spiciness that you expect from a Burgundy. There is also a kind of animal touch in the nose, which indicates the more natural way of producing. Medium body, medium long finish and nicely melted tannins.
