Tasting Notes
This wine reveals a fresh attack and opens on notes of cherry and raspberry, with some signature herbaceous notes typical of the region. A fantastic pairing with beef tartare with sundried tomatoes, arugula salad and parmesan shavings.
Method
Made from certified ECOCERT organic Pinot Noir grapes, which means no insecticides or herbicides are used and all the fertilizers are organic. Cover crops are used on all the vineyard to prevent soil erosion and to create natural fertilizers. The grapes are harvested during nighttime to preserve primary fresh fruit aromas and flavors. The grapes are de-stemmed, transferred to open vats, cold maceration over at least 4 days, punching down of the cap during fermentation, half the juice ferments in barrel and undergoes spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wines ages 6 months in stainless steel vats before bottling.
