Tasting note
Simple, elegant entry-level Burgundy, delicately bedecked with raspberries and redcurrants and lightly perfumed with spice.
Viticulture
Discover the essence of Côte de Beaune Villages by Joseph Drouhin. Meticulous grape selection from 16 villages, clay-limestone soil, and low yield of 46 hl/ha unveil terroir nuances.
Vinification
Maceration and vinification take 2 to 3 weeks indigenous yeasts. "Pigeage" (punching down of the cap during fermentation): once a day until half of fermentation is done; one pumping over ("remontage") per day till the end of the fermentation. Pressing is via vertical press. Aged in barrels (10% in new oak) for 12 to 15 months.
Food Match
A great pairing with mild cheeses such as goats cheese and creamy brie, seared tuna especially with an Asian style such as a sesame crust, chicken or rabbit with a creamy mustard sauce.
