The Wine: It pours a luminous, deep ruby. On the nose, it offers a refined bouquet of wild strawberries and raspberries with a hint of violet. The palate is quintessentially Chambolle—silky tannins, bright acidity, and an elegant, lingering finish with subtle mineral notes.
The Pairing: I paired it with Picotee Spray Carnations. The fiery red margins of the petals beautifully echo the wine’s crimson hues.
The Scent: While the Dianthus (Flower of the Gods) has a delicate spicy-clove scent, I kept them just far enough to let the Pinot Noir’s complex bouquet take center stage. A true dance of elegance.
