Description

Pinot Noir is invariably associated with Burgundy and indeed, it is here that this varietal finds the conditions most conducive to its development... Pinot Noir owes its fame to its native terroir in Burgundy, where it is the only grape used for practically all of the production of red wines. Furthermore, the region's soils and temperate climate suit this varietal perfectly as it is not fond of hot, humid weather. The Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune produce what are without doubt the greatest Pinot Noir wines in the world. For this sunny vintage, we have incorporated a supply from Yonne area into our blend to bring freshness!

Tasting Notes
Appearance: 

A bright ruby color with violet hues.

Aroma: 

This wine develops gourmet aromas of red and black berries with some peppery and subtly smoky notes. 

Palate: 

The palate is very well balanced. A wine full of juice, with a certain freshness that makes you salivate but also some fine tannins. A Burgundy of beautiful nobility!
