Critic

- Vinous (Neal Martin): 97/100
- Decanter: 97/100
Suggested pairings
Ideal with a thick veal chop roasted with morels, a squab stuffed with wild mushrooms or a leg of lamb roasted with rosemary and garlic confit. It is also the perfect accompaniment to fillet of beef with Perigueux sauce, duck breast glazed with honey and sweet spices or jugged hare. On a cheese platter, choose an aged Comté, a mature Salers or a blue cheese with character, such as Fourme d'Ambert.
