Whether you’re a seasoned Pinot Noir enthusiast or exploring the variety for the first time, this bottle promises an unforgettable journey through subtlety and sophistication.

Artisanal Winemaking, Layered Complexity

Hand-harvested at dawn and chilled overnight, a portion of the grapes underwent gentle whole-bunch pressing, preserving their delicate aromatics. The must spent three days on skins before spontaneous fermentation in open tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. This meticulous process allows hints of subtle spice to meld seamlessly with the wine’s pure Pinot fruit character, creating a profile that’s both approachable now and capable of aging beautifully.

Tasting Profile: Delicate Yet Dynamic

Pour a glass and admire its very light ruby hue with a brick-red rim. The nose reveals cola tonic and fresh raspberry, while the palate delivers silky-textured red fruits, bright acidity, and a lingering, integrated finish. Named “Crépuscule” (twilight), this wine captures the magic of dusk—a moment of transition where beauty deepens.

Perfect Pairings & Occasions

Elevate your dining experience with roasted duck breast drizzled in berry jus, wild mushroom risotto, grilled salmon with herb butter, or a goat’s cheese and beetroot salad. Its immediate charm and cellaring potential make it ideal for celebrations, quiet evenings, or as a thoughtful gift for wine lovers.
