🍇 Pinot Noir 📍 Burgundy

🍷 Medium Reds

Tasting Notes

A classic Pinot Noir from a small 0.5ha site of the Hautes Cote de Nuits.

Ripe strawberries and raspberry fruit flavours, with fresh red and blackcurrants, floral and red berry aromatics, and elegantly subtle spices.

Smooth on the palate, medium bodied and dry, soft in texture with fine well-integrated tannins, and a vibrant acid line that runs through to a long clean finish.

Nerd Notes

Pinot Noir from the Hautes Cotes de Nuits in Burgundy, France.

The vines come from a 0.5 hectare site sitting at 380 metres above sea level, with 20 year old vines growing in clay and limestone (and with very little soil).

The grapes are harvested by hand, sorted, and then destemmed (between 50% to 100% depending on the vintage).
Vinified through spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts, cold macerated for 10 days, and frequent pump overs and punch downs.
The wine is then aged for 15 months in French oak barrels, with 20% new oak.

Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and minimal added sulphur.
