Location
Set in the Côte de Nuits, the vineyard is located between Dijon and Gevrey-Chambertin just south of the Marsannay appellation.
Soil The east/southeast-facing vines are planted in predominantly calcareous clay-based soil that contains white marl in areas.
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 12 to 14 months ageing in oak barrels with at most 15% new oak.
Robe Beautiful intense ruby red nuances.
Nose Stands out for its smoky notes and aromas of stone fruit (cherry, plum).
Palate Lovely freshness with predominant flavours of red berries underpinned by notes of forest undergrowth and mushrooms. A balanced wine with focussed tannins.
Serve with This wine is a good match for braised beef, tagines, game and roast pork. Pair it with a chicken and olive tagine, wild boar stewed in red wine, pineapple-roasted pork with ginger sauce as well as with full-flavoured cheeses such as Epoisses or Munster.
Serve at 14 to 16 °C.
Cellaring potential From 3 to 5 years.
