2023 Technical Specifications
Alcohol 14.0%
Grape Varieties 100% Pinot Noir

Production Details The specialist listing reports sugar below 3 g/L. This is an upper bound, so it is not emitted as an exact residual-sugar value.

2022 Technical Specifications
Region Taille Pieds
Harvest Dates Domaine harvest began 25 August 2022 and finished 31 August 2022; the page does not give a Taillepieds parcel-specific picking date
Production Details Across the domaine, harvest sugars were tightly grouped around 12.5%; this is a grape/must observation, not finished-wine alcohol. Red fermentations were long and steady, with most red cuvées devatted at approximately 21 days. Red malolactic timing varied, and some lots did not finish until before summer.

2021 Technical Specifications
Drinking Window 2026–2031
Region Taille Pieds
Harvest Dates Domaine harvest began 22 September 2021 and finished 30 September 2021; the page does not give a Taillepieds parcel-specific picking date
Production Details The Taillepieds cuvée produced 3.5 barrels and was vinified with one-third whole bunches. The producer's broader 2021 account says wines were approximately 12 degrees before light chaptalization, whole-cluster use was reduced to improve temperature control in small vats, and delayed malolactic fermentation led to later-than-usual red-wine bottling. Domaine-wide red yield was 18 hL/ha; this cohort figure is not treated as the Taillepieds parcel yield.
Tasting Notes Jasper Morris, tasting in October 2022: light reduction and barrel toast on the nose; red fruit and orange zest, with fresh acidity, stem-assisted persistence and a 2026–2031 suggested drinking window
2020 Technical Specifications
Region Taille Pieds
Harvest Dates Domaine red harvest began 20 August 2020 and finished three days later; the page does not identify the Taillepieds picking date
Production Details For the domaine's 2020 reds, whole bunches were reduced to approximately 10–15%; pump-overs were used through most of vinification, followed by punch-downs to finish extraction. Vinification lasted at least 16 days, and malolactic fermentation was short and early. The producer reports approximately 14% alcohols, red yield of 22 hL/ha and unusually low pH relative to the preceding four vintages, but these are cohort-level observations rather than exact Taillepieds analytical or parcel-yield values.

2019 Technical Specifications
Region Taille Pieds
Vineyard Yield 24 hL/ha
Harvest Dates Domaine picking began 9 September 2019 and all red parcels were finished by 14 September 2019; the Taillepieds parcel date is not specified
Production Details The exact old-vine Taillepieds lot had not yet been racked when tasted in October 2020. Separately, the producer's general 2019 vintage account reports about 25% whole clusters and about 25% new oak for almost every cuvée, but does not explicitly confirm that Taillepieds belonged to that group; domaine reds ranged from 13.3% to 14.1% alcohol.
Tasting Notes Jasper Morris, tasted October 2020: bright purple; intense, fresh raspberry fruit, some richness toward the finish, a fleeting chocolate suggestion and sufficient acidity
2018 Technical Specifications
Region Taille Pieds
Harvest Dates Domaine harvest began 30 August 2018, and seven of eight red vineyards were completed within 48 hours; the Taillepieds date is not stated
Production Details For the domaine's 2018 reds, pump-over frequency was increased and punch-downs were made gentler to manage extraction. Some lots began malolactic fermentation immediately after pressing. Red alcohols ranged from 13% to 14%, and red yield was approximately 30 hL/ha; these are cohort-level observations, not exact Taillepieds analytical or parcel-yield values.

2017 Technical Specifications
Region Taille Pieds
Harvest Dates Domaine harvest began 2 September 2017 and the final parcel was harvested 10 September 2017; the producer identifies that final parcel as Corton-Charlemagne, not Taillepieds
Production Details The domaine used both pump-overs and punch-downs for red-wine extraction. Devatting occurred almost 21 days after harvest, and red malolactic fermentation finished by mid-May. Domaine-wide red yield was just over 40 hL/ha; this cohort figure is not treated as the Taillepieds parcel yield.
