I opened this to cook our coq au vin with, but after tasting it, I found it hard to dump in the Dutch oven! This is great passetoutgrain with crackling crunchy fruit! Now I have to find something better to pair with the dish...

This passetoutgrains had plenty of crackling high toned fruit. Nice with homemade chicken pot pie.

This producer has me confused, which is nothing new for Burgundy. On release his wines are nearly un-drinkable; a year later they are ambrosia. This is the best passetoutgrain I have ever had, loaded with pretty Gamay fruit but supported by Nuits acidity. Not complex- just delicious!

After how well the bottle I stewed the chicken in showed, I couldn't wait to drink one. Cinnamon prepared chicken thighs, rice & Tokyo radish and we opened one. The sweet sauce on the chicken dulled the fruit of this charming wine. Too bad- it had so much high quality blackberry aroma and flavor without any flabbiness... Luckily I have more to try with other dinners!

Great, sweet fruited passetoutgrain that went very well with roast chicken & potatoes. We need a case of this!
