The wine is made with 100% Pinot Noir grown in the village of Santenay, the last village in the Cote d'Or. The grapes all come from the Premier Cru rated Maladière where the lower yields result in a greater degree of concentration comapred to regional and village level wines. This wine will develop in the bottle for 5 years from vintage and hold for a further 5 years at peak making it a good choice for those seeking high quality immediate drinking options for wines for short term cellaring.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This medium-bodied Pinot Noir is a delightfully balanced wine, with aromas of red cherry, earthy notes, and a hint of nutmeg spice.On the palate, the wine is juicy and fresh, with a vibrant acidity and a pleasingly lengthy finish showing subtle nutmeg complexity from oak maturation. Drink with mushroom based dishes or beetroot.
