100% Pinot Noir from a scant 1.81 hectare parcel situated at the top of a steep east-facing slope, planted on limestone and sand. The hand-harvested grapes are de-stemmed and fermented with native yeast. The wine ages for 12 months in 20% new French oak barrels, followed by 6 months in steel tank. Bottled un-fined and un-filtered.
Bursting with bright blackberry, cherry and raspberry fruit, followed by rose petal, baking spice, English tea and damp earth. The plush, velvety palate has incredible intensity and focus, with summer berries and spice, gently balanced by concentrated mid-palate minerality, forest floor notes and silky tannins. A wine of beauty, poise and stature. A true GRANDE VIN de BOURGOGNE.
