Country: France, Burgundy, Cote De Beaune
Grape Varieties: 100% Pinot Noir
Grape Varieties: 100% Pinot Noir
Au Pied du Mont Chauve is one of the Picard family`s labels. The estate produces brilliant-value Burgundy and is one of few producers able to hold back wine for later release. The wines are made at the Ch. de Chassagne-Montrachet, a huge property based in the heart of the village in the Côte de Beaune. The wines are labeled under Au Pied du Mont Chauve, however, because the château name legally belongs to the neighboring estate Domaine Bader-Mimeur.
Food Pairing: Pairs well with chicken and turkey.

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.
