A beautiful, deep, intense ruby colour. Notes of red cherries, black fruit with a pleasant hint of vanilla and lots of complexity. Supple, with silky tannins and the berry aromas typical of Pinot Noir, such as blackcurrant.
This Premier Cru goes perfectly with dishes cooked in a wine sauce, such as marinated red meat or chicken with morel mushrooms. It is also perfect with strong cheeses.
Serve ideally at a temperature of between 15 and 17°C.
This great wine will keep for 5 to 8 years in good conditions.
100% Pinot Noir.
Hand-picked, the grapes are sorted in the vineyard and then again in the winery on a table. The grapes are then 100% de-stemmed but not crushed, so they are placed whole in wooden vats by gravity. Maceration lasts around 3 weeks, with regular punching down of the cap. The wine is aged for 16 months in barrels without racking (30% new barrels).
At the heart of a prestigious vineyard, Beaune, the capital of Burgundy wines, is one of the largest appellations with 450 hectares, including 322 hectares of Premiers Crus spread over 41 climats. Producing an average of 13,170 hectolitres per year, it owes its name to the Gallic god Belenus. An iconic town, Beaune is particularly renowned for the Hospices de Beaune wine auction. This cuvée, a blend of several Premiers Crus, reflects the diversity of the terroir: brown limestone soils, red gravel, ferruginous oolite, yellow limestone, marl, clay and sand, on steep south/south-east facing slopes, between 190 and 380 metres above sea level.
The 2022 vintage was once again marked by intense weather, with frost, heatwave and drought. The vines came through all these episodes unscathed, giving this vintage a special beauty, with generous quantities and a quality that will appeal to wine lovers the world over.
