A delicate bouquet of raspberries and redcurrants with a touch of underlying rusticity precedes a palate of pure, soft red fruit flavours offset by supple tannins.
A fine Bourgogne Pinot Noir from Stéphane Brocard, bottled under his ‘Closerie des Alisières’ label. It drinks well lightly-chilled with a simple collation of charcuterie, fresh bread and cornichons and perhaps some ripe brie de Maux if you are feeling indulgent.
