ABOUT

The combination of old vines, conscientious vineyard work, and reasonable yields, all contribute to the crowd pleasing, balanced wines that Besson produces.  Farming from superb vineyards like ‘Les Grands Prétans,’ Besson always provides superb Burgundy VALUE: concentrated and densely expressive with brilliant perfume, heady fruit, and a velvety mouthfeel. 

100% Pinot Noir.

Pinot Noir is a "cross dresser." It's a red wine that thinks it's a white because it's crisp and soft enough to go with more "white-wine dishes" than most red wines. This is why Pinot Noir may be the ultimate food wine. Here are its classic food matches:

  • Leaner meats (veal, chicken, turkey, rabbit, any game bird, filets of beef or pork, and a well-drained duck)
  • Smoked, wood-roasted, braised or sausage meats (with the use of beef, lamb and pork)
  • Earthy flavors (truffles, wild mushrooms, mustards, peppercorns, coriander and horseradish)
  • Resin-like or scented green herbs (rosemary, thyme, tarragon, oregano, summer and winter savory, chervil, mints and basils)
  • Aromatic sweet spices (clove, cinnamon, mace, allspice and nutmeg)
  • Sweet vegetables (tomatoes, beets, carrots, caramelized onions and bell peppers)
  • Autumnal fruits (figs, plums, blackberry, raspberry, blueberry, currants, and black and dried cherries)
  • Natural stocks and sauces rounded with butter
  • Slow-cooking processes (braises and pot-at-feu)
  • Mild or creamy cheeses (Brie, Camembert, herbed crèmes, cheddars, Havarti and jacks)
