Product notes

Bourgogne rouge comes from the Pinot Noir grape whose name can be traced back as far as 1375 and which gives birth to all the great red wines of Burgundy. It is delicate, highly valued and needs careful looking after during the growing season. The appellation BOURGOGNE ROUGE dates from 1937 and is grown in 299 communes throughout wine-growing Burgundy. The Bourgogne Pinot Noir grows and flourishes near more prestigious crus. These close neighbours are separated by only hundreds or sometimes even as little as tens of metres. Thevineyards tend to be located along the foot of the wine-growing slopes on limestone soils mixed with some clays and marls. The soils are stony, rocky even, and quick draining.

Production notes

Vines are located near Saint-Aubin and Puligny-Montrachet villages. Plantation density: 10 000 vine stocks per hectare. Pruning: Guyot. Yield: 50 hectolitres per hectare. Handpicked harvest. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Maturation during 7-8 months in cellar for ageing.

Tasting notes

To the eye, the wine is colored - crimson at first then, with age, shading towards dark ruby. To the nose it offers at first a basket of small red and black fruits (strawberry, cherry, blackcurrant, bilberry) later evolving into cooked prune, peppery notes, and notes of animal, underbrush, moss and mushroom. It is lively and structured in the mouth with a wellrounded and supple backbone. Tannins and fruit go hand in hand and the chewiness matches the power of the secondary aromas. This wine has volume and flesh. The Bourgogne Pinot Noir has an elegant and refined character as well as a light and fluid structure in the mouth. It therefore goes with rather delicate dishes that are to some degree aromatic - vegetable salads, meat or poultry tarts, or simmered beef and vegetables (pot-au-feu). Its natural elegance predisposes him towards veal, cold tabouleh, or hard cheeses like Gouda.
