Philippe le Hardi, Bougogne Rouge, Vielle Vignes

This silky, vibrant Pinot Noir is brimming with fresh red cherry and raspberry fruit, laced with delicate violet and subtle spice notes. Bright and expressive, it has velvety tannins that wrap around the palate, while a lively acidity keeps everything beautifully balanced. The finish is juicy, refined, and lingering, making this a classic, approachable expression of Burgundy Pinot Noir.

Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi, formerly Château de Santenay, is a historic estate with deep roots in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or and Côte Chalonnaise. Named after Philip the Bold, the first Duke of Burgundy, the domaine owns 106 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards, with vines in Santenay, Mercurey, Saint-Aubin, and even Grand Cru Clos de Vougeot. Aged for 10 months (20% in French oak, 80% in stainless steel), this Pinot Noir is an elegant, food-friendly wine that punches well above its weight. This refined and versatile Pinot Noir is a great match for roast chicken, duck, mushroom risotto, or soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert. Its fresh acidity and fine tannins also make it ideal for pairing with grilled salmon, charcuterie, or a simple roast pork dish.
