 Bourgogne rouge 2008

Bourgogne rouge

Vine location : village of Prissé.
Type of soil : Clay and limestone .
Exposure : the estate benefits from a privileged south to south-west exposure.
Grape variety : 100 % Pinot Noir .
Vine age : 50 years old on average.
Training system : Simple Guyot with 4 to 5 buds. Disbudding, green harvest, soil ploughing around the end of July , natural fertilizing . Our vine-growing approach obeys 2 principles :
- an environmentally-concerned agriculture.
- a rational pest control.
Harvest : Hand-picking, careful selection in the vines first and second at the winery if necessary.
Winemaking : fully traditional winemaking. The grapes are destemmed before they are transferred to the vats by gravity. Punching of the cap and pumping-over are carried out daily.
Characteristics : rounded wine whose tannins express themselves fully on the palate, revealing finesse, softness and harmony. Red fruit undertones ( mostly raspberry ).
Cellar storing : 3 to 5 years .
Food and wine match : perfect to accompany a meal from beginning to end. Charcuterie ( = cooked pork meats), jambon et saucisson de pays (= regional pork ham and regional pork sausage), poultry : duck, guinea fowl, roasted meat and cheese matured in a cellar. Should be served between 14 and 16° C .
