The wine
Description
100% Pinot Noir from handpicked grapes ; raised in oak casks.
Taste
The aromas of red fruit with a touch of candied fruit express all the warmth of this climat (or plot); the wine from this plot owes its dark colour and silky, concentrated tannins, to the grapes which mature compact but with a low yield.
Serving temperature
15-16°C; recent vintages may be decanted 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.
