Pinot Noir from the Sur la Côte lieu-dit. 20-40 year old vines grown on grey marl and clay/loam soils. 1/3 of the grapes are de-stemmed by hand, and the other 2/3 are whole bunch. The grapes undergo carbonic maceration for 2 weeks in tank. Aged in tank for 9 months. Not fined or filtered. 10mg/L SO2 before bottling.
Quite light in colour. Lighter fruits, and the youthfulness has integrated now. Highly perfumed, with raspberries, roses, and a touch of ozone. Light and slippery in the mouth. Sweet, lithe fruit, with a super fine grainy tannins. Elegant, pretty and fine boned. The feeling of lifted fruit perfume lasts in the mouth. Serve chilled.
