A wine of considerable structure and depth, it reveals layers of complexity that unfold beautifully over time, gaining silky texture and refinement with bottle age. Built to cellar for at least 5 to 7 years with plenty oomph to age beyond this, this is a serious Pinot Noir with the backbone to accompany game, venison, and richly roasted meats. Serve at 17–18°C to fully appreciate its elegant, charming character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/pinot-noir\" title=\"View other Pinot Noir Wines\"\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDry, \u003ca title=\"View our Full Collection of Red Wines\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/red-wine\"\u003eRed\u003c\/a\u003e, Medium Bodied, Fresh, Red Fruit, Elegant, Rich, Stylish, Charming\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/france\" title=\"View other French Wines\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75cl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDietary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/sustainably-made-wines\" title=\"Discover our Sustainably Made Wines\"\u003eSustainable\u003c\/a\u003e, Practising \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/organic-wines\" title=\"View other Organically Farmed and Practising Organic Wines\"\u003eOrganic\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"large-italic-text max-w-[500px] lg:max-w-[600px] xl:max-w-[700px] mx-auto mt-4 xl:mt-8 opacity-75\"\u003eBouchard Père \u0026amp; Fils have embodied the soul and values of Burgundy for close to three centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"max-w-[700px] mx-auto mt-6 xl:mt-8\"\u003eDuring the first half of the 18th century, Michel Bouchard, a cloth merchant from the Dauphiné region in eastern France, regularly travelled through Burgundy on his way to Flanders.
