The Details

Perhaps the best way to capture how joyous and singular the wine is would be to reference the oxymoronic tasting notes recorded in real time while enjoying some of 'Les Noces:' "Supremely serious fruit, deeper / light-bodied, earthy presence." Who can make something of this? The wine beguiles and mystifies and sails on contradiction - light but heavy, dark but featherweight, blue but red fruit. A real easy-to-drink-hard-to-describe delight of the kind of serious Burgundian complexity this new fangled 'Côteaux Bourguignons' appellation does not intuitively inspire. Wowzers.

50% Gamay, 50% Pinot Noir from 2 parcels both planted to each variety, one in Volnay, the other Pommard. Clay/limestone soils house the 40 year-old vines. The grapes are destemmed and thereafter undergo a 2-week co-maceration/spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel vat. Coarsely filtered and racked into neutral barrel for a 16-month élevage. Bottled unfined, 25ppm SO2. 12%ABV

About Burgundy

The Burgundy wine region, nestled in the heart of eastern France, is an enchanting tapestry of vine-covered hills, historic villages, and unparalleled terroir. Revered as the holy grail of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Burgundy's wines are celebrated for their purity, finesse, and capacity to express the essence of individual vineyard plots. The region's famed Côte d'Or, divided into the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, is home to some of the world's most coveted vineyards, each named meticulously on its own. From the robust, age-worthy reds of Gevrey-Chambertin to the ethereal and elegant whites of Meursault, Burgundy's terroir-driven wines are a testament to the region's dedication to tradition and meticulous winemaking. Here, winemakers carefully honor centuries-old practices while allowing the land to tell its unique story in each bottle, making Burgundy an enduring and magical destination for wine enthusiasts seeking transcendental experiences in the glass.
