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

Vintage : 2023

The 2023 vintage has been disrupted by a capricious wather all along the year. Despite a warm winter, an unstable spring, and a summer marked by heat pics, cool weather and stormy showers, this vintage offered Burgundy an abundant and gourmet harvest as well as fruity and expressive wines.
