Production area

Pinot Noir is invariably associated with Burgundy and indeed, it is here that this varietal finds the conditions most conducive to its development... Pinot Noir owes its fame to its native terroir in Burgundy, where it is the only grape used for practically all of the production of red wines. Furthermore, the region’s soils and temperate climate suit this varietal perfectly as it is not fond of hot, humid weather. The Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune produce what are without doubt the greatest Pinot Noir wines in the world.

Origins

Our red Burgundy is made from grapes harvested on different terroirs selected to give an elegant expression of Pinot Noir in keeping with the House style.
Burgundy’s soil is clay-limestone based, yet it varies considerably from village to village. This renders the winemaker’s role all the more important when selecting the grapes.

Vintage : 2024

Despite near-normal temperatures, the 2024 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a lack of sunshine. In the vineyard, our team worked hard to fight the diseases caused by frequent rainfall and this lack of sun. In the winery, the meticulous sorting allowed us to select only the best grapes and to make the most of this vintage’s quality potential. Quality is on point: the whites are expected to be very elegant while the reds are already fruity and structured.
