Discover the grape variety: Pinot noir
Elegant reds, light in colour with silky tannins, showing strawberry, cherry and raspberry aromas, evolving to forest floor, mushroom and spice with age. Fresh acidity, delicate finish.

An early-ripening Burgundian variety, one of the world's greatest.

The wine region of Monthélie Premier Cru
15 Premier Cru vineyards on the Côte de Beaune on south and east-facing slopes of Monthélie, adjacent to Volnay and Meursault. Pinot Noir dominates (35 ha in 1er cru): elegant ruby with small red and black fruits (cherry, blackcurrant) and floral notes (violet, peony), evolving toward undergrowth, fern and spices with maturity. Chardonnay adds freshness. Jurassic drained marly limestone soils, aging 8-15 years, finesse reminiscent of Volnay.
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: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
