The Story
100% Pinot Noir
Vines planted in 2000. Above the village of Santenay, bordering 1er Cru Passetemps, on a gentle slope with deep clay soil. Sustainable agriculture, organic methods.
50-100% whole cluster, 2-week ambient yeast fermentation and maceration, pump-overs and punch-downs, settled, aged for an average of 24 months on the lees in barrels (0-20% new) and for an additional 6 months in tank, fined and filtered if necessary, SO2 only added during aging (typically after the first year.)
