100% Pinot Noir

Attractive and fresh aromas of ripe fleshy red fruits balance a trace of minerality, or “goutte de terroir” as the French say, one can smell the vineyards themselves.

Pinot Noir grown so far north tends to be light, but that is its attraction. Here we have a delicate yet very tasty elegant wine with lots of soft red fruit.

Planted 40 years ago, their vines are now reaching the pinnacle of their quality potential. 50% is planted in clay-limestone soil locally referred to as «Terres Blanches» and 50% in dry, stony limestone soil called «Caillotes.» Vines on all plots are disbudded and have the leaves thinned. The grapes enjoy ideal conditions for ripening in the summer. They take regular samples of grapes before the harvest to determine the optimum time for picking

After rigorous sorting, the grapes go directly into tank. A few days cold maceration is then carried out. The cap is kept deliberately submerged. This technique results in a light, fruity wine. The grapes are then pressed and made ready for malolactic fermentation. Following a few months’ ageing on the lees in stainless steel tanks, stabilization and clarification operations are carried out ready for bottling.
