Vintage: 2018

Varietals: Pinot Noir

Farming: Organic

Fully ripe wild berries with a spicy undertone, slightly roasted from the ageing which also brings out a complex bouquet of red flower floral notes. Fruit forward at the beginning with a balanced tannic structure showing later. Fresh and consistently aromatic finish.

Harvested by hand and at maturity, the grapes are then sorted, 100% destemmed and put in vats. The vatting lasts between 20 and 25 days with alternating punching down and pumping over according to the tastings. After devatting, pressing and settling, the wine is barreled for its malolactic fermentation before starting to age for about 18 to 24 months total. A single racking and no filtration before bottling. Elevage 30% in new barrels maximum followed by a massing of 4 to 6 months.
