This wine is from several plots located at the bottom of the hillside in the villages of Meursault, Volnay and Monthélie where they fall under the Burgundy appellation. The forty-year-old Pinot Noir vines grown with as few chemicals as possible send their roots deep into the limestone-clay soil. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are sorted on a table in the cellar. Fermentation takes place in open vats and is started by natural yeasts. Daily punching down and racking is used to perfect extraction. Once fermentation has been completed, the must is pressed and then placed into oak barrels for malolactic fermentation to occur. It stays in the barrels for 10 to 15 months while the wine matures.
Juicy and fruity, this Burgundy reflects the characteristic style of the Côte de Beaune with notes of cherries and strawberries along with a dash of spices. On the palate, it is supple and slightly acidic, creating a wonderful, easy-to-drink wine. A delicious Burgundy to be enjoyed while young.
