From the cellar: pair with
Roast duck with cherries
Cherry and dark-fruit character link naturally to duck, while the wine's supple tannins keep the pairing elegant.
Mushroom risotto
Truffle and undergrowth notes make earthy mushrooms a sympathetic match for the evolving Pinot.
Herb-roasted guinea fowl
The wine's refined structure suits a savory bird more precisely than a heavily sauced red-meat dish.
