Made from the few rows of old biodynamically grown Pinot Noir vines among the renowned Chardonnay in the 'Le Charlemagne' climat on the Corton Hill. Has that magic one looks, and sometimes vainly hopes, for in Burgundy PN.
High-altitude Pinot Noir in the cooler hills above Saint-Aubin made with strictly free run juice for a pale colour and a light extraction. This elegant expression of Pinot is perfect with grilled fish and lighter fare.
A fruit-forward Burgundian Pinot, avoiding the forest floor in favor of cherry and just-underripe plum, a saline minerality, and softly lingering tannins.
This stunningly beautiful natural Pinot Noir is lovingly crafted by legendary Bourgogne vigneron Pierre Fenals from a minuscule plot of less than 0,5 hectares on rocky white soils with marlstone and sandstone in the parcel of Les Clos Roussots. Grapes are grown biodynamically and worked in the cellar with nothing added or taken away; after an elevage of 18 months in used barrels, the wine is bottled with no fining, filtration or added SO2. Supple, dynamic and focused with dark apple berries, underwood spices, baked plum and fine aromatic herbs.
A medium-bodied red with notes of black cherry licorice, strawberry, and a hint of leather, this one could use some time in a decanter. Delicious now, but totally cellar-worthy.
100% pinot noir from the Givry commune, made using the "flottaison" method, this wine eschews the soily, vegetal side of the grape in favor of big fruit notes. Crushable, but worth savoring.
40% whole cluster fermentation, with just a hint of new oak to mellow its redfruit tartness, a comfy-cozy baked spice edge, and gently-grippy silk tannins on the finish.
