Domaine Nico
Grand Mère
Domaine Nico
Grand Mère
An elegant and classic Pinot Noir that fits the name "Grandmother." Laura has a profound respect for what grandparents do for children, and she wanted to honor their love and wisdom with this wine.
Wine Production
Fermented with 20% whole clusters and indigenous yeast in small, 800L vats. Punch-down extraction is done by hand, and the maximum fermentation temperature only reaches 25 degrees Celsius. Maceration takes place over 7-10 days, and malolactic fermentation occurs in the barrel.
Tasting Notes
Domaine Nico Grand Mère offers aromas of cherry, strawberry, earth, and nutmeg. As it opens up, a little black fruit, black pepper, cinnamon, and spice add complexity alongside the fresh acidity and medium-full body.
Food Pairing
Pair Domaine Nico Grand Mère with beef wellington, tortellini in broth, or Asian dishes such as spiced pork, tempura shrimp and vegetables, or sweet & sour sauce.

About the Vineyard
Domaine Nico’s Grand Mère and Grand Père parcels are nearly 30 years old, planted in Villa Bastías with Dijon Clones (667 & 115) in 1993. The Grand Mère parcel gets more sun, resulting in wines with generous and silky tannins. Winemaking is traditional and gentle for these delicate wines. Yields are extremely low due to the age of the vineyard.
