Description
In the past, this place was overrun with the thorns and the thorny bushes (‘espineauls’), afterwards it was cultivated by the monks from Citeaux around 1150.
A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.
Tasting note – Pinot noir with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, pepper, a solid but delicate structure. It is considered as the softest of the A.O.C. Pommard.
Food pairings – Ideal with red meat such as beef, game animals or game birds and strong cheeses.
