Intensity
Les Pierres Blanches is named after the terroir of white limestone, essential for the maturation of Pinot Noir, and a reflection of the estate’s commitment to biodynamic viticulture.
More infoLes Pierres Blanches from Domaine de la Vougeraie is a 100% Pinot Noir red wine produced from vines planted in highly chalky, white, pebble-rich soil with a silty texture that imparts great finesse to the wine. No yeast or enzymes are added during vinification, with a 5-day pre-fermentation cold maceration at 12–15°C, followed by a 19-day vatting period. During this period, the cap is punched twice, then gently pumped over daily until the end of the vatting period. Pressing is achieved with a vertical press, ensuring that the juice is extracted gently. The wine is matured for nine months in oak barrels with 20% new wood. The juice then rests in stainless steel vats for a month before being racked, without fining and with a light filtration.
Intense aromas of fresh red fruit, like cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle floral notes of violet and a spicy touch of white pepper and liquorice rise from the glass. On the palate, it is lively and refined with a delightful freshness. The red fruit flavours are supported by fine, silky tannins.
