The wine
Description
100% Pinot Noir from handpicked grapes and raised in oak casks.
Taste
A crisp fruit aroma is first detected on the nose together with some fine, wild fruit notes; the fullness in the mouth, some delicate toasted flavours and good persistence reveal bring out all the elegance of this appellation.
Serving temperature
15/16°C. It is recommended to decante 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.
