AOC Village
Grape variety
Pinot noir
It is in this small village with its 520 acres of vines at the heart of the Côte de Nuits that some of Burgundy's most renowned red wines, such as Romanée-Conti and Richebourg are produced.
The vines are located on either side of the Grand Crus, either at the top or bottom of the slope, and sometimes at the same altitude in their prolongation.
Tasting
Elegant nose with notes of red fruit (Morello cherry, raspberry...) combined with slight hints of toast and smoke which will evolve over time toward scents of truffle. Velvety start to the palate, rich body, bold yet silky tannins. The finish is highly aromatic.
Food/wine pairing
Taste this wine with roasted or stewed meats (beef, lamb, duck, game), or with medium cheeses.
Serving and keeping
Serve at 15-16°C (59-61°F).
Aging potential: 5 to 7 years and more.
