Auxey-Duresses "La Canée" Henri de Villamont | Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir - Classic Game Pairing. :

 

Hailing from the lesser-known, high-quality Auxey-Duresses appellation, the Henri de Villamont "La Canée" offers a classic, refined expression of Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir. This is a wine that consistently over-delivers on its terroir promise.

Sommelier Tasting Notes

With a luminous ruby hue, the wine presents a bouquet that speaks of its noble origin:

• Aromatics: A pure core of red berries (cranberry, cherry) beautifully layered with classic tertiary notes of forest floor, game, and subtle oak spice.
• Texture: The palate is elegant and medium-weight, characterised by a wonderful freshness, a fine structure, and a long, pure finish with silky, persistent tannins.

Serving Suggestions & Pairing

This Burgundy is the quintessential companion for the finest British and European game dishes.

• Pairing: The definitive choice for Pot-Roasted Pheasant, Venison Loin, or a traditional Game Pie. Also perfect with mature hard cheeses like Aged Cheddar.
• Service: Serve slightly cool at 16°C. While enjoyable young, this wine will reward careful cellaring for up to 8 years.
