This Pinot Noir has moderate, discreet tannins, fresh acidity and a medium-bodied structure with an intense aroma of red berries, making it a versatile food wine. The soft tannins and the acidity handle richness without dominating, so it accompanies poultry, mushroom dishes and fatty pork alike with elegance. The Burgundian soil lends an earthy undertone that plays up against forest floor, mushrooms and mature cheeses, while the fresh fruit matches dishes with a slightly tart or berry-like accompaniment. As a classic Pinot Noir it is also one of the most cheese-friendly red wines, thanks to its light tannin impression.

About the wine

Maladière is a steep southeast facing rock slope. The field is 4.35 hp. The vines are approx. 35 years old. The soil is blasted limestone with a thin layer of loam. Because of the steep slope, grass is planted between the canes to preserve the soil so that it is not washed away by running water.

Vinification takes place with natural yeast, on whole grapes, the majority of which are destemmed, approx. 30% whole classes.

⅔ is matured in Bourgogne oak barriques, of which 15-20% are new.

⅓ of the cuvée is matured in large Foudres, which are large oak vats.

A powerful and aromatic Premier Cru with a nice dark red colour.

The aroma is intense of red fruits and berries.

The taste is very present with discreet tannins, nice intensity and a long finish.

A wonderful food wine that should be enjoyed in good company and in large glasses.
