The vine
Plot /climat
Champs Goudins and Le Pré de la Folie
History
In old French vernacular, goudin or gaudin meant woods and these woods may have consisted in leafy species of trees such as referred to in Le Pré de la Folie because the word "fou" for a long time was the name for the beech-tree.
Soil
The land at the foot of the slope consists in a deep layer of clay and alluvium on a limestone sub-stratum.

The wine
Description
100% Pinot Noir from handpicked grapes and raised in oak casks.
Taste
On the nose there is a delicate, fruity aroma of small red berries and morello cherries; it is elegant and refined in the mouth with a smooth and prolonged finish.
Serving temperature
15/16°C. Recent vintages may be decanted to enhance the aroma.
The vintage
- March was sunny and budburst happened too early. 5th of April frost made big damages in Puligny. Flowering occurred lately, with wind and rain, many flower aborted, confirming a low yield vintage. Fortunately, summer was hot and dry, enhancing maturation and sugar concentration by the end of summer. Harvest started 13th of September. White wines are generous and fruit driven, but high acidity gives a good concentration and length. Red wines benefited from the hot summer with a complex bouquet and round tanins.
