A light, delicate Pinot Noir with loads of fruit and a green pepper note from the whole-cluster maceration, that spends a year in barrel before bottling.
High elevation site with soils heavy in clay and light in limestone, from a plot in front of Santenay. Sharp green apple mellowed out with a creamy secondary fermentation.
The 2023 vintage is a deep ruby red in color, with lush red berry notes and a hint of spice wrapped in forest floor, structured and silky, contoured by a delicate oakiness.
Francois de Nicolay's negociant project selects grapes from excellent organic and biodynamic vineyards in France and vinifies naturally with no sulfur addition. This Bourgogne Aligote is a great representation of Burgundy's other great White grape with fresh acidity.
Blend of Pinot de Bourgogne and Gamay de Chiroubles, made in a cleverly extracted style, with lots of fruit and minimal tannin. Chiroubles has the highest, steepest vines in Beaujolais, which makes working the vines a more physically demanding process. The reward for this meticulous work shines through in the bottle.
