Description / Reviews
"Sustainable culture, no herbicides. Partial grassing with mechanical working of the soil. Harvested by hand only, in openwork crates of 15 KG. The bunches are cooled and 100% destemmed before vatting in wooden vats for 2 weeks. Cold pre-fermentation maceration before alcoholic fermentation using indigenous yeasts. Gentle extraction by alternating manual punch downs and pump overs. In French oak barrels for 12 months. 25% new barrels, then blended for 6 months in vats before bottling." - Bader Mimeur, Winemaker
"From old-vine Pinot Noir planted behind the Château itself (Champ Derrière), this wine showcases the elegance and structure of Chassagne-Montrachet red Burgundy. The 55–75-year-old vines grow on deep clay-limestone soils that naturally retain moisture — a real advantage in today’s warmer vintages.
Hand-picked and fully destemmed, the wine is fermented in open wooden vats before maturing 12 months in French oak (25% new). Supple and refined, it reflects the depth and freshness that define the best Burgundy Pinot Noir from the Côte de Beaune." - Franc About Wine, Importer
