In the Glass — Tasting Notes

A bright ruby wine that opens with black cherry and blueberry aromas, leaping forward with the classic poise Burgundy demands. The palate is silky and finely structured, with supple tannins that feel refined rather than aggressive. You'll find a lingering perfumed finish that invites you back to the glass—exactly what makes this wine such a natural fit at the table.

The Winery — Domaine Chevalier

Founded in 1850 by Émile Dubois, this family domaine has been shaped by four generations of careful stewardship. Today, Claude Chevalier leads the estate alongside his daughters; Chloé now oversees all winemaking. The domaine's 15 hectares sit on south-easterly facing chalky-clay soils in Ladoix, just north of the Côte de Beaune. For this 2023, hand-harvested fruit from three parcels (vines averaging 45 years old) underwent 15 days of temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by 12 months in mostly older oak (30% new), creating a wine of genuine structure without excess. At 12.5% ABV, it strikes that perfect balance where Pinot Noir truly sings.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is food wine through and through. Roasted chicken, braised duck, game, mushroom-rich dishes, and aged goat cheese all find their match here. It's equally at home with a Sunday roast or a weeknight stew, making it one of the most reliable bottles to open when you want elegance without fuss. Serve cool (12–14°C), ideally with 30 minutes of decanting to settle the fruit.
