About this winery
Christophe Baudry & Jean-Martin Dutour sign each of their bottles and guarantee the permanent search for a balance between the expression of the terroir, the vintage, and the durability of the particular style of each estate. Obviously, it all starts in the vineyard. Every detail counts: high trellising to increase the surface area of foliage exposed to the sun, grassing, careful disbudding, leaf thinning around the bunches, manual sorting on the vine stump before harvesting ...

Production notes
Hand-picked in mid-October, destemmed, the grapes fall by natural gravity into temperature-controlled stainless steel vats equipped with mechanical punching down for better extraction of color, aromas and tannins. After more than 2 weeks of maceration, the wines are separated from the pomace before malolactic fermentation.
Tasting notes
Garnet nuances, brilliant. Nose of ripe fruit, fresh fig with a hint of vanilla. The attack in the mouth is round, complex with spicy notes. It is covered with fine tannins and continues with a nice length. Food and wine pairing: Excellent with braised beef with mushroom garnish, apple pudding and duck à l' orange.
