Behind its dark color, this Pinot Noir explodes with aromas of elderberry, rose, and peony, with subtle smoky notes. The same flavors on the palate highlight the personality of this elegant and perfectly balanced wine. The tannins are silky and the oak is well integrated. The finish, long and full, gives an unusual airiness.
Located in the very south of the Côte de Beaune, Maranges “Le Clos des Loyères” marly-clay and limestone-rich soils produce a Pinot Noir bursting with freshness, energy and length. Created in 1988, the Maranges appellation includes three villages–Cheilly-lès-Maranges, Dezize-lès-Maranges, and Sampigny-lès-Maranges–and has seven Premiers Crus.
Hand-harvested grapes, hand-sorted on a vibrating table. 100% de-stemmed, placed into stainless steel fermentation vats by gravity flow. Weeks-long maceration, minimal pumping-over and punching-down. Pressing in pneumatic press. Placed in French oak barrels for aging on fine lees.
