Description
This fruit is organic and biodynamic. The vines were planted in the early 1970s. The rows run from the top to the bottom of the steep slope, offering the complete palette. Carel uses only whole bunches, such is the quality of the fruit. This is a wine of lifted finesse and elegance, built upon a firm, limestone foundation. Drink 2030-2045.

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.
