Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Bright aromas of cranberry and raspberry are complemented by subtle hints of toasted oak spice. The palate is smooth and elegant, with flavors of ripe strawberry and red licorice, leading to a long, peppery finish that lingers gracefully
Winemaker Notes
The grapes were hand-harvested and 75% were gently destemmed, leaving a portion of whole clusters intact for added complexity. Following a five-day cold soak to enhance color and aromatics, fermentation began with regular pump-overs and punch-downs twice daily to ensure a balanced extraction. Once dry, the wine was pressed and allowed to settle overnight before being racked into 25% new French oak barrels. After 18 months of careful aging, the wine was bottled, showcasing the vibrant character and depth of the 115 clone.
Food Pairing Notes
The 2015 Pinot Noir Dijon Clone 115 pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, thanks to its vibrant red fruit notes, smooth texture, and subtle spice. Poultry dishes like herb-roasted chicken or duck breast with a cherry glaze make excellent companions, as do pork tenderloin with a raspberry reduction or Chinese char siu barbecue pork. For seafood lovers, grilled salmon or tuna with a soy-ginger marinade and seared scallops with a light butter sauce are ideal. Vegetarians will appreciate the wine alongside wild mushroom risotto or truffle-infused pasta, while grilled portobello mushrooms with thyme and garlic offer a savory pairing. Cheese lovers can enjoy soft selections like brie or camembert or opt for aged goat cheese or gruyère. For a heartier option, consider lamb chops with a Dijon mustard crust or a charcuterie board featuring cured meats like prosciutto. Each pairing complements the wine’s bright fruit, balanced acidity, and peppery finish, elevating your dining experience.
