PRODUCER NOTES. Domaine Bonnardot is a family-owned vineyard with three generations of experience in soil working and a passion for producing high-quality wine while respecting the terroir and nature. They completed their conversion to organic farming in 2021 after three years of testing, and continue to experiment with sowing, tillage, and the use of herbal teas and essential oils. They also prioritize promoting biodiversity by maintaining dry-stone walls, hedges, woods, and bee hives.. TASTING NOTES. Made from 100% Pinot Noir from four old vines averaging 70 years old over from Comblanchien and Corgoloin. The hard silty limestone soils contribute to the wine's unique flavour profile. On the nose, this wine offers a complex aroma with notes of black fruit and violet, complemented by mushroom undertones. On the palate, the wine delights with the jammy black fruit flavours and violet notes, culminating in a long and powerful peppery finish. The tannins are harmoniously integrated, contributing to the wine's smoothness.. FOOD PAIRING. A heavenly pairing with rib roast, bœuf bourguignon, leg of lamb, terrines and pâtés. It also pairs excellently with a strong cheese such as Epoisses or Munster.. FRIARWOOD SAYS. The domaine is women-run by the third-generation daughter, Danièle Bonnardot.
