Bourgogne Côte d'Or Pinot Noir "Secret de Famille"

It is in the Côte d’Or, at the heart of winegrowing Burgundy, that the region's most prestigious wines are produced. In order to bring these exceptional terroirs into the spotlight, the additional geographical denomination "Côte d’Or" was created in 2017.
The Bourgogne Côte d’Or wines have stricter production regulations than the Bourgogne wines (lower yields, same density of planting as for village wines, vineyards located exclusively in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits).
Our "Secret de Famille" is crafted from a blend of grapes from carefully selected plots from around the Côte de Nuits villages that are celebrated for their great red wines (Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, Marsannay, etc.).These rich terroirs along with meticulous vinification and ageing result in an elegant, delectable, harmonious wine.
