Description

Which duck dish will you pair this delicious Pinot Noir with? It is very balanced with delicate notes of redcurrant and cherry, and a silky texture. We recommend ageing it for at least 4 years in the cellar to better appreciate it, though it can be kept for up to fifteen! The vines it comes from grow in a soil of chalk and marl. In the vines, the aim is to space out the vegetation as much as possible so as to allow the wind to blow and prevent the plants from becoming entangled. Each vine stock thus holds around 6-7 grape bunches. As tradition demands, the harvests are carried out by hand in small, 40-litre boxes in order to ensure the quality of the grapes when they arrive at the winery. Vinification takes 12 to 15 days, and this includes two sessions of punching down every day. After waiting for a few days in vats, the wine is then matured for 18 months in 228-litre barrels, 25% of which is new wood.
