- This wine embodies the rich and classic Burgundy style, offering a delightful blend of ripe wild strawberry fruit and a luxurious texture. It is concentrated and fully flavoured, with silky tannins leading to a satisfying finish.
Harvested manually, the grapes were carefully sorted before a traditional Burgundian vinification with minimal intervention. The grapes were destemmed and vinified in open vats using natural yeasts. The cap was submerged or gently pumped over once per day. It was then aged for 14 months in oak, of which 30% was new, during which time the wine went through slow malolactic conversion. The wine was not racked but bottled by gravity without fining or filtration.
A rich style of classic Burgundy with ripe wild strawberry fruit and a lovely texture. Concentrated and fully flavoured with silky tannins through to a full finish. In January 2000, Geoffroy Choppin de Janvry, an agronomist engineer specializing in viticulture and oenology, took over the estate from his great aunt. Adopting a minimal intervention approach, Geoffroy crafts wines of ultimate purity that are highly rated worldwide.

Winery | The 1er cru vineyard of les Teurons is one of the most highly respected in Beaune. Located in the Cote d'Or, the limestone soils are mixed with marl, giving the vines a favourable terroir. Domaine Albert Morot cultivates a hectare of vines here on the gently sloping vineyard, which enjoys a south-easterly exposure, providing the vines with sunshine for most of the day. The vines have an average age of 50 years and produce low yields of 25 hl/ha. A green harvest takes place to control yields and ensure the maximum concentration of flavours in the remaining berries. Domaine Albert Morot is certified organic, so the vines are cultivated in vineyards where the environment is respected and biodiversity is encouraged. Using artificial pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilisers is strictly prohibited, though certain fertilisers (typically derived from animal or vegetable matter) are allowed. Many biodynamic practices are also employed. |
