BOURGOGNE PINOT NOIR 2022

Production area

Pinot Noir is invariably associated with Burgundy and indeed, it is here that this varietal finds the conditions most conducive to its development... Pinot Noir owes its fame to its native terroir in Burgundy, where it is the only grape used for practically all of the production of red wines. Furthermore, the region’s soils and temperate climate suit this varietal perfectly as it is not fond of hot, humid weather. The Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune produce what are without doubt the greatest Pinot Noir wines in the world.

Origins

Our red Burgundy is made from grapes harvested on different terroirs selected to give an elegant expression of Pinot Noir in keeping with the House style.
Burgundy’s soil is clay-limestone based, yet it varies considerably from village to village. This renders the winemaker’s role all the more important when selecting the grapes.

100% Pinot Noir

Tasting notes

COLOR: Bright crimson red.
NOSE: A very elegant bouquet opening onto a basket of red and black berries.
PALATE: A round, fruity wine with mellow tannins. Good length, fresh, supple and harmonious.

Vinification and maturing

The grapes are sorted, crushed and destemmed before being placed in stainless steel vats. A pre-fermentation cold maceration takes place over several days. This is followed by ten days of alcoholic fermentation, with pumping over and punching of the cap. Finally, the wine is aged for 6 months, mainly in stainless steel vats, but also in oak barrels (30%) to round out the tannins and add complexity.

Ideal with grilled or roasted red beef, veal, meat pie, pot-au-feu, boeuf bourguignon and cheeses like Brillat-Savarin.
