This Pinot Noir from Santenay has lots of red fruit and cherry wrapped up in fine, discreet tannins and a beautifully rich balance. The soft tannins and the fresh acidity make it a versatile companion to light meat and poultry, where the fruit plays off the sweetness and richness of the dishes without overpowering them. The note of licorice and the aromatic fruit also suit mushrooms and light game, while the moderate body keeps it from feeling too heavy. Feel free to serve it lightly chilled with an autumn meal.

About the wine

The Clos Faubard field is situated high on the mountainside, on a terrace, with fantastic sun exposure all day long. The soil is limestone covered with a thin layer of red loam. 0.7 hp. for approx. 300 meters high.

The grapes are pressed, and the must is lightly clarified before it reaches the barrel. Fermentation is achieved with natural yeast. The malolactic fermentation is typically completed during the winter months, in the underground cellars.

Aged in used 350 liter casks for 10 months.

The color is a beautiful burgundy red. The aroma is lots of red fruits and berries, especially cherries, with notes of licorice.

The taste is wildly aromatic. Lots of red fruits wrapped in fine, discreet tannins. Beautiful rich balance.

The quality/price is really nice.
