Côte de Nuits-Villages

Redcurrant and raspberry fruit are joined by cocoa powder, tea and spice. The texture is fine and light. The wine used considerably less whole-bunch fruit than earlier vintages, and its volume was forty percent of previous vintages. Fresh and savoury notes are present, with fruit in the background. It was bottled at the end of August. Pinot Noir is the sole grape.

Blackberry and blackcurrant meet balanced tannin and acidity in this Pinot Noir from the slopes of Comblanchien. The grapes are fully destemmed before stainless-steel fermentation. Twelve months in French oak, including 15% new barrels, are followed by six months on fine lees before bottling.
