Description
A discreet application of wood sets off the elegant and pure essence of red berries, earth and a pretty floral hint. There is fine mid-palate density to the bigger-bodied and equally muscular flavours that exhibit excellent length on the complex, youthfully austere and even firmer finale. This is potentially outstanding, though, like the Santenots, it's clearly built-to-age and a wine requiring at least some patience.

About this wine
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
