Labouré-Roi

Bourgogne Pinot Noir

From the Chablis and Auxerrois regions in the north to the Mâconnais region in the south, via the Côte d’Or and Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy wines come from a wide variety of terroirs. In the north, the wines are lively and fragrant, while in the south they are more structured.

Tasting Notes

Elegant ruby-purple. Fine, subtle bouquet on the nose with aromas of small black fruits. The mouth is supple, round, with mellow tannins and a lovely freshness.

Food Pairing

Enjoy this wine just as an aperitif or paired with a plate of cured meats, with Bonito Tataki, Italian-style pasta, stuffed puff pastry, meat pies, a « coq au vin », beef stew, or a French Camembert cheese.
