This was drinkable all by itself,  I have another bottle I’m looking forward to drinking Memorial Day weekend with some friends.  If you want to pair it with something, I could see this being very good with chicken or pork.  Pretty much anything that a pinot noir would pair well with.   For the price it was not a bad French bottle, but I think there are better priced wines with less adieu. Of course,  if you are going for the experience and not 3 months late,  then rock out with this one. :)
