Description

The fruit of these old vines was completely de-stemmed as usual. The Tawse parcel is located at the top of the hill, meaning it drains well and there is always plenty of wind, so disease is never a problem and the fruit is always of great quality. Very much small red berries in character, this has a juicy and crunchy feel, while a floral character gives the erroneous impression of whole-bunch. There’s a pleasing structure behind the pretty touches that suggests this has hidden depths and will age well. Drink 2025-2038.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
