Domaine d’Edouard Bourgogne Pinot Noir - Côtes d'Auxerre, Burgundy, France
Producer's Notes:
This wine is a blend from six parcels of the estate. Maceration, lasting approximately two weeks, is carried out with partially destemmed grapes (20% to 40% destemmed depending on the vintage) and a majority of whole bunches, meaning with the stems. Following vinification, the wines are aged for one year, 90% in 228-liter barrels and 600-liter demi-muids, and 10% in tanks. This cuvée has a slightly more tannic structure than other wines of the region, thanks to the use of whole-cluster fermentation. This will impart freshness and substance to the wine in subsequent years. This wine possesses the crisp, tangy character typical of the region, but it also displays a fruity and appealing character (Morello cherry) in its youth, delighting the palate. It will age beautifully and develop lovely fruity, slightly floral, and forest floor notes after a few years of cellaring.
