A supple, finely etched Pinot Noir from the northern reaches of Burgundy, just beside Irancy. The 2023 Bourgogne Rouge carries vibrant red cherry, wild strawberry, and gentle spice over a framework of fine tannins and lifted freshness. Whole-cluster fermentation brings aromatic lift and structure, while the blend of stainless steel and seasoned oak ageing preserves both fruit purity and textural depth. Elegant yet unforced, this is a quietly confident Burgundy—vivid, pure, and full of life.

Vinification
Hand-harvested Pinot Noir from vineyards near Irancy, grown on a mix of clay, limestone, and sandy soils. Whole-bunch maceration for 8–10 days with indigenous yeasts encourages gentle extraction and aromatic complexity. The wine is then aged for nine months—60% in stainless steel, 40% in three-year-old barrels—before bottling without fining or filtration. A minimal-intervention approach that lets the northern Burgundian terroir speak through its purity and finesse.
