The wine
Description
100% Pinot Noir from handpicked grapes; raised in oak casks.
Taste
Robust and richly coloured with both finesse and elegance on the palate; the wine will age well with characteristic sauvage tones.
Serving temperature
15/16°C. It is recommended to decant recent vintages so as to enhance the aroma.
The vintage
- The end of the winter was very cold ; nice weather early april was the best contitions for buds to come out ; end of may, the vines are in bloom. Hot and dry conditions in july and august helped the grapes mature quickly. We started harvest on the 31st of august on Beaune Clos des Mouches white. Dark in colour, cassis or blackcurrant aromas, rich and concentrated sensation in the mouth, well balanced acidity and full tannins.
