2023 Technical Specifications
Grape Varieties Pinot Noir
Classification Grand Cru
Region Echezeaux
Soil Clay-limestone; clos st denis has sandy and ferruginous characteristics, While rougeots dessus has rocky red soil high on the slope
Orientation South-East
Sites 50% Clos St Denis; 50% Rougeots Dessus
Vine Age 50
Indigenous Yeast Yes
Maceration 17.5 days
Production Details Sorted whole clusters were vinified without SO2, with indigenous-yeast alcoholic fermentation and no artificial temperature control; malolactic fermentation occurred in pièces. The wine matured on lees under reductive conditions without racking, with stirring and no SO2, for 17 months. Rootstock was 161-49 and planting density 10,000 vines/ha. The producer reports twice-daily pigeage for 2.5 weeks; Terra Vert's exact-2023 importer sheet instead describes three punch-downs daily at the beginning followed by no further intervention, so that frequency remains a documented source disagreement.
Tasting Notes Powerful, structured, refined and energetic; fruit, flowers and sandalwood; broad and taut palate
