Research

Winegrower: Pascal AUFRANC

Soil: Plots situated at “En Rémont” – altitude 300 to 350 metres on western slopes – granitic soil with sand on the top.

Vineyard: 65 years old vines – the vineyard being isolated, surrounded by fields and woods, the wine grower is able to practice “supervised control” in his vines without potential interference from neighbours.

Winemaking: Gritted vatting from 8 to 10 days – maceration in vats (pushing the cap down) – aged for 6 months in vats – bottled on the estate in prestige Burgundy bottles.

Tasting: Deep ruby robe. This wine seduces with its rich red fruit fragrance as well as with its iris and dried flower aromas. The attack in the mouth is frank without being aggressive. Elegant and racy with nuances of wood and flowers. Should be laid down for one or two years.

To be served with: Casseroles (Boeuf bourguignon, coq au vin, …). Try with ploughman’s platter. Serve at 16°C.

Contents: 75 cl.    37,5 cl.
