The Details

100% Pinot Noir from biodynamically cultivated vines in the En Bessy vineyard of Northern Burgundy's Dijon. The grapes are hand-harvested from 20-45 year-old vines and spontaneously ferment in a 'whole-cluster sandwich' with 2/3 whole-cluster grapes at the top and bottom of the tank with 1/3 destemmed grapes in the middle. The wine is pressed and ages in neutral barrel for 10-12 months prior to bottling unfined, unfiltrered, no additional SO2. 11.5%ABV

1 BTL / CUSTOMER

During the reign of the Ducs de Bourgogne, the wines from Plombiers were valued more than those of Gevrey or Chambolle. With expressive, energetic wines like the Coteaux de Dijon Pinot Noir, Marc Soyard is showing that this near-forgotten terroir overlooking Dijon can still deliver incredibly delicious and memorable wines. The owl is the symbol of the city of Dijon. The famous chouette is sculpted into the chapel of Notre-Dame de Dijon. Local legend says that if you rub the owl with your left hand while making a wish it will come true.

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.
