Location
The vineyards are located in Beaune, the historic capital of Burgundy wine, at the very heart of the Côte de Beaune, between Savigny-lès-Beaune to the north and Pommard to the south.
Soil Located at the foot of the slope, our plot of vines benefits from eastern/southeastern exposure and flourishes in brown soil, turned reddish due to erosion, which is predominantly limestone based.
Grape variety 100 % Pinot Noir.
Vinification Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled open vats (28/30°C) with regular punching of the cap followed by 14 to 16 months ageing in oak barrels with at most 15% new oak.
Robe Beautiful ruby red with cherry coloured tinges.
Nose Aromas of fresh red berries - crushed raspberries and strawberries - along with toasted notes and a hint of liquorice.
Palate Flavours of red berries as perceived on the first nose along with a silky texture and well-integrated tannins. The finish is intense with notes of spices.
Serve with Duck shepherds pie, stuffed pigeon and thyme-scented rack of lamb are all examples of dishes that would perfectly showcase the aromas and flavours of this delicate wine. As for cheese, a Brie de Meaux or a Cantal entre-deux would be just delicious.
Serve at 14 to 16°C.
Cellaring potential From 3 to 7 years.
