The Vineyard
Facing southeast, ‘Vergelesses’ sits on the appellation border with Pernand-Vergelesses. With its marl and sandy soils, Pinot Noir here is plush and velvety, chock-full of summer berries and black cherries.
The Winemaking
Hand-harvested. Mostly destemmed with 20% whole clusters, fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature controlled, stainless steel tank. Aged in French oak barrels, with 25% new wood, for 12 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulfur addition.
The Wine
Aromas of red and black berries, violets, light pepper. Round, plush and layered; tannins are refined. Flavors of red berry fruit, baking spices.
