Region: Burgundy, France

Grapes: Pinot Noir
From 60+-year-old vines planted on hard limestone with chert. Grapes 100% destemmed prior to ferment. Temperature controlled fermentation in an open top fermenter. Aged 16 months in oak barrels (15% new oak). Lovely thick aroma of cherry, redcurrant, figs, leather, and vanilla. Fuller bodied and exceptionally balanced, with a suave character and moderate tannins. A delicious, slightly rustic finish.
