Tasting Note: With less than the yield for a Grand Cru, this succulent, richly textured Pinot boasts alluring aromas of cherry and raspberry complemented by subtle hints of violet, dried herbs and warm spices. A velvety texture coats the palate, balanced by a refreshing acidity, fine tannins and intriguing minerality. In the style of Burgundy’s greatest varietal: refined elegance, defined by a long and graceful finish, leaving a lingering impression of bright fruit. A truly exquisite expression of a Pinot Noir unveiling the finest qualities of this varietal and a testament to the dedication and skills of its Vigneron. A wonderful addition to a Burgundy lover’s cellar.
Winemaking Notes: “Crafting pure authentic wines with minimal intervention requires perfectly healthy grapes achieved only through arduous vineyard work. Lucious grapes have been gently destemmed and left to cold soak for a long and soft extraction of the fine flavours and colour. No cultured yeast, additions and enhancements, just a long, cool wild fermentation with no residual sugar left, for a true expression of the this noble grape variety and its amazing terroir. After 24 days on the skins, the young wine was gently pressed into French barriques (40% new) where it further matured for 18 month. Thanks to the high quality of grapes the wine was bottled in our winery unfined (vegan) and unfiltered to retain the integrity of this regal Pinot Noir.” – Hans Herzog
