Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Terroir

Our vineyard of Bourgogne Pinot noir is made of several plots located in PremeauxPrissey. Vines have been planted between 1956-1965. Grapes are receiveing the exact same care as the others grapes classified in Premier Cru, making it a qualitative wine.

Surface : 2,97 hectares. (7,18 acres)

Climat & Soil : Clay and limestony soil with clay predominance.

Winemaking and Aging

To preserve their integrity, grapes are carefully harvested and sorted out by hand.
Before beginning the alcoholic fermentation we make a cold prefermentation during 4 to 6 days to work on the phelonic component's exctraction. Grapes are previously
partially destemmed. Then full maceration lasts for 15 days during which we'll use only pigeages (punching the cap). Intensity and numbers are lead to the
concentration of tannins, perfumes and colour. Alcoholic fermentation is realized
with natural yeasts.


After maceration, free and press wines are separated for aging. Aging process is taking place 60% in stainless steel tanks and 40% in traditional Burgundian 228 liters barrels (20% new oak). We only use French oak coming mainly from Bourgogne, Allier and Vosges forests.

Art of tasting

Owning great wines in your cellar is not enough, you also need to know how to serve them.

Temperature is an essential element around 53-57°F for the white and 55-59°F for the red. And if you don't have the right tasting glass which will amplify the wine's aromas, you may considerably reduce your tasting pleasure.

A great glass gives a large ventilation surface to the wine and a tightening neck allow the nose to grasp more casily the richness and the complexity of a great wine.
