Tasting
by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
This wine is both simple and elegant. A nice purple colour. Delicate red fruit aromas on the nose. This is a great example of what the Pinot Noir grape can produce on the Burgundian terroir.
Vintage
2023 stands out as one of the hotest years in Burgundy, surpassing even 2022.
This vintage is marked by its generosity, both in quantity and quality, with consistent yields across all regions in Burgundy.
The wines offer flavours of ripe red and black berries.
The climate's generosity is evident in these Pinots Noirs.
They show excellent ripeness with smooth, long, and complex palates.
2023 is a vintage of high quality.
Winemaking
Supply: this wine comes from grapes and musts purchased from supply partners according to rigorous specifications.
Harvest: grapes harvested by hands in open-work crates. If necessary, a careful sorting is proceeded.
Vinification: total destemming. 1 to 2 weeks of maceration and fermentation. Indigenous yeasts or yeasting. Vertical or pneumatic pressing.
Ageing: in barrels including 15 to 20% of new oak barrels.
It lasts between 10 to 14 months.
Throughout the ageing process, decisions are taken only after careful tasting evaluation. The data obtained is completed through technical analysis. As with every other Joseph Drouhin wine, absolute priority is given to the true expression of terroir and character of the vintage.
