Grape Varieties Pinot Noir
Classification Village
Region Les Prarons-Dessus
Soil Red clay and chalk
Sites Les Prarons Dessus; one of northern Santenay's vineyards, adjacent to Chassagne Premier Cru Morgeot and immediately below Clos de Tavannes
Indigenous Yeast Yes
Barrel Size 228
Production Details The vines are stated to be more than 40 years old, and the wine was matured in 228 L barrels, 20% of them new. The whole-cluster proportion is reported inconsistently: Skurnik's specification says 30%, its embedded Vinous review says 35%, and International Fine Wines says one-third. Skurnik describes the farming practice as practicing organic, without stating certification.
Tasting Notes Vinous, reviewed 9 January 2025: Morello cherry, raspberry coulis, wild strawberry, light spice and white pepper, with an opulent profile. Latimer's 2023 release tasting describes high-toned strawberry, cherry and sour cherry, complexity, salinity and a harmonious finish.
