The Character
Tasting Notes This Pinot Noir develops a deep and intense bouquet. The first taste impression is generous, fine and fruity. This wine could almost seem ‘gourmand’ and for early-drinking if the ripe tannins and the structure on the finish did not come to remind us we are dealing with a wine for keeping.
Pairings Game, stews, strong cheeses
Sustainability Natural Fermentation
The Story
A cuvée from three different terroirs: Les Boutières (1957) and Les Caillettes (1959) with clay-limestone soils that are light and deep; then Les Guérets (1978) which represents around 40% of the cuvée and where the soil is made up of brown-reddish clays scattered with blocks of limestone. This last-named parcel, classified as Premier Cru, provides the essential structure and depth of this cuvée.
