SOIL & VINEYARD
Parcel-based selection of "plateau" vines. Decomposed pink granite soil mixed with sand and stones. The soil in these parcels is low in clay and therefore filters very well, producing small yields.
VINIFICATION & AGEING
Manual harvesting with rigorous sorting of the berries. Burgundy vinification method with destemming. Long maceration of about 25 days. Aged for 9 to 12 months in 2 to 5-year-old oak barrels. The wine is filtered slightly to preserve its full potential.
TASTING NOTES
The nose is powerful with aromas of cherry, blackberry and a touch of earthiness. Good concentration and a long finish. Good ageing potentiel.
FOOD & WINE PAIRINGS
The perfect partner for red meat, game and Burgundy cheeses (Saint Marcellin, Mont d'Or, Époisses).
VEGGIE : Pan-fried mushrooms.
ECOLOGICAL PRACTICES
Integrated crop management
AGEING POTENTIAL
5 to 10 years
