Terroir:
Some vines planted in 1997 in our Monopole Volnay Clos des Santenots give elegant wines with a fine bouquet and racy tannins.

Vinification and Ageing:
The grapes were handpicked into small crates, then sorted and destemmed. The wine stayed on the skins for 20 days in temperature-controlled open oak vats.

Deep ruby red with intense purple reflections. The nose shows notes of ripe and fresh dark berries, evolving into finely toasted notes. Dense and rich palate, underlined by a dark ripe fruit with a touch of spices and pleasant liquorice notes. Generous and tasty on the finish.

THE GRAPE

 

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy`s Côte d`Or.

Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climates of the Côte d`Or.

Because of the thinness of the skins, Pinot Noir wines are lighter in colour, body and tannins. However the best wines have grip, complexity and an intensity of fruit seldom found in wine from other grapes. Young Pinot Noir can smell almost sweet, redolent with freshly crushed raspberries, cherries and redcurrants. When mature, the best wines develop a sensuous, silky mouth feel with the fruit flavours deepening and gamey "sous-bois" nuances emerging.

The best examples are still found in Burgundy, although Pinot Noir`s key role in Champagne should not be forgotten. It is grown throughout the world with notable success in the Carneros and Russian River Valley districts of California, and the Martinborough and Central Otago regions of New Zealand.
