Description
The Bourgogne Garance de la Soeur Cadette delicately highlights the fruit’s fresh, crisp character. It captures the very essence of Pinot Noir’s appeal. A precise, enticing fruitiness, surprising freshness, and well-balanced, subtle tannins. A real treat!
In the vineyard, in the cellar
Pinot Noir vines aged around thirty years, planted on plots with red clay soils. Hand-harvested, sorted in the vineyard. The grapes are placed in vats as whole bunches or destemmed depending on the vintage. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Aged in barrels for 10 months, before bottling without fining or filtration.
The terroir’s uniqueness stems from the uplift of the limestone layers by the Morvan granite massif during its formation. The vineyard itself is situated on older limestone layers: the Bajocian, the Upper Bathonian and the Lower Bathonian for the most part, as well as the Lias. To this complex geology must be added the orientation of the vines, which is of course equally important! The estate’s vines face from south-east to south-west. The south-west is particularly well-suited to Chardonnay as the sun shines later in the evening in September and ripeness is often better there.
Organic farming. Weed control in the vineyards is carried out without synthetic chemicals, but through ploughing and hoeing throughout the growing season. Methods that respect the plants, the soil, the environment and quality of life.
