90 / 100"A more restrained nose combines notes of ripe and fresh black raspberry, warm earth and wood toast. The delicious, round and plump medium weight flavours possess better mid-palate density while exhibiting touches of austerity and rusticity on the mildly warm finale. This should benefit from a few years of patience."

Tasting Notes
Pinot Noir from vines with an average age of 35 years. Complete destemming followed by cold vatting for 3 to 6 days at 10°C. Fermentation with natural yeasts for 12 to 18 days. Pumping-over/pigeage twice a day depending on the vintage. 15 months maturing on lees in oak barrels of which 20% are new. Three months in a steel vat to prepare the wine for bottling.
"The vineyard of Auxey-Duresses is located next to a valley, between Meursault and Monthélie. A blackberry bouquet with a tart finish and textured tannins. A powerful wine when young, the tannins soften and the wine unveils itself when opened after a few years." - Adèle & Elsa Matrot
