Place & Vines
  • Pinot Noir from Curtil-Vergy in the elevated Hautes-Côtes de Nuits.
  • Clay, limestone and white marl form the vineyard's mineral foundation.
  • The cooler high-country setting preserves acidity and aromatic freshness.
  • Manual harvesting in small crates protects the fruit before rigorous sorting.
Vinification
  • Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and restrained extraction.
  • The detailed 2023 reference used 80% whole clusters.
  • A three-day cold soak was followed by 15 days of maceration in stainless steel.
Aging Style

Barrique élevage adds dimension to the wine's cool, mineral core. The detailed 2023 reference spent 11 months in 228-litre barrels; the precise whole-cluster share and timing can be adapted to vintage conditions.

Style & Structure

Dark and fleshy berry fruit meets high-country freshness and a mineral, finely structured finish. Whole clusters add lift and savory complexity, while the wine retains enough density to reward a few years in bottle.

Key Factors
  • A cool, elevated Pinot Noir grown above the main Côte de Nuits slope.
  • White marl and limestone sharpen the wine's mineral line.
  • High whole-cluster use builds aromatic dimension and fine structure.
