Destined to be a classic, Domaine Chandon's 2006 Carneros Pinot Noir exhibits aromas of dried cherries, cedar and traces of dried tobacco. As the wine opens in the glass, underlying notes of vanilla bean and the fresh scent of a strawberry patch on a warm spring afternoon become evident.
With a faint brick-red hue, this Pinot Noir tantalizes the palate with flavors of black plums, white pepper and blueberries. As a hint of bay laurel lingers on the finish, the bright acidity and well integrated tannins offer an alluring accompaniment to your dining experience.
Serve this versatile wine alongside lighter game meats such as quail or duck topped with a reduction sauce and lentils on the side.
