TASTING NOTES
The Les Epenotes vineyard is located at the southern end of Beaune, near Pommard-Epenots (Les Petits Epenots), and is characterised by exceptional quality. The soil consists of marl and limestone gravel. Les Epenotes is produced strictly according to organic farming rules. The Pinot Noir grapes were harvested by hand, destemmed and crushed. Vinification was natural, using indigenous yeasts and four gentle pump-overs. The wine was aged in barriques for 13 months, using 1-3 year old barrels. The wine has a beautiful cherry red colour, with delicious aromas of forest fruits such as raspberry, black cherry, dogwood, redcurrant and freshly made jam on the nose. In the mouth, it has a fantastic entry, with an exceptional balance of roundness, elegance, finesse and purity. The delicate floral notes are the result of the indigenous yeasts. The fruit is crisp, with luxurious density and depth leading towards a peppery finish and pleasant acidity. Certified organic.
