There, you will find deep soils with a clay layer on a limestone base. Fermentation took place for a fortnight in open vats, ageing for twelve months in barrels. The proportion of new wood was 10 %.
Color
medium garnet red, slightly transparent
Nose
The Bourgogne Côte d'Or 2019 is a fragrant, yet quite dark and ripe Pinot Noir with a seductive note of crushed dark raspberries, wild strawberry jam, cranberries, a little yeast and warm forest floor.
Palate
On the palate the Burgundy Côte d'Or Sturdy and ripe, round and silky and yet with a fine grip and bite from a structuring acidity that runs freshly through the dark berry fruit. In the background you find a fine spice of wood and undergrowth, dark bread crumb, dried herbs and a little iodine. This is an absolutely coherent and beautiful estate wine from Volnay, as uncomplicated as it is balanced.
