Characteristic
After the challenges thrown with the vintage 2012, we were hoping for a peaceful 2013.But capricious Mother Nature had other ideas. Defying all weather forecasts, she never let up. After a long winter, a gloomy spring and a fine, providential summer, our pickers had to wait until the end of September to take up secateurs.
Wine-food pairing
Thick cut beefsteak, lamb, or stewed poultry, cheeses with well-developed flavours (Époisses, Langres and Soumaintrain, but also Comté)
Tasting note
The bouquet reveals blackberry, blueberry and redcurrant flavors. When aged, it will develop leather, peppery and chocolates aromas. A win with delicate structure and a strong personality.
