- A stylish and expressive Pinot Noir, made from old vines which delivers a hint of spice over concentrated red fruit aromas. Smooth and ripe, with a sensuous texture, the elegant palate shows lovely structure through to a deliciously spicy finish.
The 2019 vintage was very hot and dry in Burgundy, resulting in a low yield of rich and concentrated fruit. A mild winter was followed by a chilly spring; however, temperatures soared in July and August. The challenge was to pick at the right time, retain the freshness, and produce a balanced wine with good aging potential. The resulting wines are aromatic, superbly concentrated, and structured.
Domaine Florent Garaudet is a small, family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. Approximately 60% of the three-hectare estate is planted with Pinot Noir in vineyards surrounding Monthelie, while Chardonnay accounts for 40% covering the appellations of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Florent Garaudet is the fifth generation to cultivate a part of the family domain. He blends a highly traditional approach with a passionate vision for quality and innovation. Florent uses minimal intervention vinification techniques in his gravity-fed winery to produce artisanal and lively wines, which display all the rich, complex characters typical of this distinctive terroir.
