Description
There has been a sorting table at the family winery since 2008, after which the grapes are destemmed but not crushed. The grapes are given a short cool maceration, then fermented with more pumping over than punching down, with the juice being concentrated by a similar machine to that used by Michel and Bernard Gros, if necessary. This wine is matured in large format (5000L) French oak to add oxygen but not oaky flavours.
These vines are in a higher altitude location in the Hautes Côtes above Nuits St Georges. It is a naturally cooler site. Very bright, energetic red cherry fruit flavours, an exciting purity, good tannic grip with a lovely bite and lift on the finish.
