Terroir:
The vineyards for this Bourgogne features a mix of limestone and clay soils, which contribute to the complexity and minerality of the wines. The climate is continental, with warm summers and cold winters, promoting balanced grape ripening.
Viticulture:
The vineyard management focuses on sustainable practices, ensuring the health of the vines and the environment. The grapes are harvested by hand to select the best quality fruit, maintaining the purity and character of the Pinot Noir.
Winemaking:
After harvest, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing and are fermented using natural yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This process preserves the fresh fruit characteristics of the Pinot Noir. The wine is then aged for a period to develop complexity and integrate its flavors, often involving some time in oak barrels to add subtle spice notes.
Tasting Notes:
This Pinot Noir is a classically styled lighter-medium bodied red Burgundy. It offers a bright red fruit profile with aromas and flavors of cherry, plum, and hints of forest floor and spices. The palate is supple and structured with fine tannins, making it approachable now but also capable of rewarding cellaring for several years. It pairs well with a variety of dishes, including roasted poultry, pork, and mild cheeses.
