Domaine Ramonet’s Les Belles Filles Rouge from Pernand-Vergelesses is a refined Burgundy Pinot Noir with medium tannin and bright acidity. The 2023 vintage is youthful and vibrant, needing time for tannins to soften and secondary flavors to emerge. Its terroir and producer’s traditional élevage support prolonged cellaring, allowing the wine to unfold nuanced layers of fruit, earth, and spice through the 2030s.

Food pairing

Ideal with roasted duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, and mild soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert. Also pairs well with earthy, autumnal dishes and charcuterie.
