Description: The Lebreuil family estate dates back to 1935, when present winemaker Jean-Baptiste Lebreuil’s grandparents purchased two hectares of vines. After stages in Bordeaux and abroad, and a degree from the Lycée Viticole in Beaune, Jean-Baptiste joined his father in 1999. The domaine became officially known as Pierre and J-B Lebreuil in 2001 and was further enlarged to its present size of 9.5 hectares, all based around Savigny-les-Beaune. This particular wine is a classic red Burgundy, characterized by pure Pinot Noir fruit. The color is garnet and transparent with aromas of barnyard (sweaty leather, animal musk), cloves, and cumin. On the palate the wine is light-bodied with notes of sour cherry, cinnamon, and musk. The tannins are slightly chewy but integrated and acid/ alcohol balance is good.

Food Pairings: Beef (braised, roasted, etc.), Chicken (Coq au vin), game birds, salmon, tuna, lamb, mushrooms, truffles, vegetable dishes, etc.
