The wines are produced from meticulously selected old vine fruit and benefit from the greatest attention to detail, the resulting wines are found in the finest restaurants and acclaimed the world over. This is truly refined Burgundy. Lovely bouquet of forest fruits and floral aromas with hints of woodiness and earthy farmyard notes. Smooth and silky on the palate with layers of raspberry, cherry and bilberry laced with subtle vanilla oak. A wine with that posesses effortless elegance that could still age a few more years but that is also drinlking extremely well now. www.bonneaudumartray.com 100% Pinot Noir A superb wine that matches well with turkey, chicken, game, duck and delicately flavoured beef dishes, also vegetable risotto and pasts dishes, particularly those including mushrooms or fresh herbs.
