Bourgogne Pinot Noir
The Vineyard
This wine is made exclusively from the Pinot Noir grape.The grapevines are situated between Buxy and Saint Gengoux le National and are generally grown midway up the hillside. The soil is very shallow and ventilated. The heavily pebbled earth is ideal for the Pinot Noir.These grapes are grown from calcareous soil with high limestone content on the Côte Chalonnaise. The slopes are gentle and face towards the east and southeast.
Aging Process
The wine is aged first in stainless steel vats, then in oak barrels or casks. How long the wine is aged in casks depends on the vintage.

Avec quelques mois, des notes fumées et de cuir apparaissent. Sa structure comporte un bel équilibre et un tanin bien fondu permettant de l’apprécier jeune tout en lui assurant un vieillissement aisé.
