Simple, supple and fruity reds with a clear ruby colour, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet, rustic profile. Almost disappeared from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and is among the heritage varieties being studied. Rare French black variety, formerly grown in the South-West.

The wine region of Échezeaux Grand Cru
Grand Cru of Flagey-Échézeaux (Côte de Nuits) on 37 ha above the Clos Vougeot: 100% Pinot Noir across 11 climats — full-bodied, structured reds with a sustained ruby robe. Delicate nose of red fruits (cherry, raspberry, redcurrant) and floral notes (rose, violet), evolving toward black fruits, mocha, leather, truffle and peppery notes. Silky and harmonious palate, 20-year ageing for the best vintages. Often more approachable young than neighbouring Grands Crus, signature depth.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
