- A beautifully perfumed and delicate Pinot Noir, with fine red fruit tones and a silky texture. Smooth, long, and elegant on the finish, classic red Burgundy. Traditional Burgundian vinification took place with minimal intervention. 70% of the grapes were vinified as whole clusters, adding complexity. Fermentation occurred with natural yeasts and without any ‘pigeage’ or punching down of the cap. The wine was 100% barrel-aged for 12 months in a combination of oak barrels. One-third was aged in new oak, one-third in one-year-old oak and one-third in two-year-old oak. The wine then rested for a further six months in a tank before being bottled without fining or filtration.

Winery | The grapes come from the single vineyard plot of ‘Beaurepaire’, situated at the highest elevation of all the Premier Crus in Santenay. This east-facing site has a unique microclimate and produces a very elegant style of wine from limestone and clay soils. The vineyard is managed with respect for the unique attributes of each site’s terroir and is farmed sustainably and organically, although it is not certified. Some biodynamic philosophies are also followed. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully sorted before vinification. |
