未滿十八歲禁止飲酒
Introducing the new collection
Rive Gauche
At the outdoor seating of a café,
A poet tasted the wine and the cheese,
The elegant flavors in the mouth sparked an inspiration,
A masterpiece was born at this café on the Rive Gauche.
As I read this poem,
While sipping the wine,
I am immersed in the same air as the poet when the masterpiece was created.
Strolling down along the Seine,
Oh, so charismatic!

Taste Description:
Vines over 30 years old harvest less grapes, and therefore, the grapes have more concentrated flavors, and tend to offer more delicate and complicated tastes.
Aged in oak barrels, this old vine pinot noir has a dark ruby color, with a dominant red fruit flavor, while carrying cherry fragrance. In addition, it also carries the smell of leather and oak, with the smooth tannins, offering an overall mid-bodied taste.
The signature cherry fragrance mixed with a hint of leather scent is what elevated the wine to a new level of elegance. The flavors remind one of a burgundy-colored handbag, elegant and sophisticated. The tannins from the old vines are smooth, doesn’t give a harsh aftertaste. This mid-bodied pinot noir gives complex layers of flavors, and is one not to miss.
