The wine

The Toussaints climat, mid-slope with an east-facing aspect, is a classic Beaune terroir, home to vines planted in 1969 on a parcel of under one hectare. The sandy clay-limestone soils ensure good drainage and yield well-concentrated fruit. In the vineyard, the estate favours low yields and manual harvests with meticulous sorting. In the winery, the fully destemmed grapes are vinified in open vats. Fermentation, carried out by native yeasts, is punctuated by regular punch-downs and pump-overs. The wine is then aged for 14 months in cask, with 30% new oak, before bottling without fining or filtration.
In the glass, the wine shows a ruby hue and an expressive nose marked by small red fruit and elegant floral notes. On the palate, a fleshy and silky core of deliciously fruit-filled aromas with fine tannins and a sense of freshness, leads into a persistent, mineral finish.

About the Producer Albert Morot

In 1820, Albert Morot founded a trading house. It was not until 1984 that Françoise Choppin, his descendant, decided to stop trading (as did many future domaines in Bourgogne at the same time), to produce her own wines. Today, Geoffroy Choppin de Janvry manages the 8-hectare domaine. After training as an agronomic engineer, he made the transition towards organic farming. His wines are of high quality, whatever the vintage, and are always dense and fruity with fine tannins.
