Maranges

Pinot Noir

Harvested on the Maranges vineyard, that forms the link between Côte-d'Or and Saône-et-Loire, this red Burgundy wine offers a complex nose with black fruits and spices aromas, supported by some toasted notes.

Wine Production

The grapes, harvested by hand, were carefully sorted in the vineyard and then on arrival at the winery. They were then completely destemmed before being put into vats. Cold maceration (8 to 10°C) took place for 4 days, followed by alcoholic fermentation in the presence of selected yeasts for a total of 15 days, with 2 punchings of the cap per day.

The wine is placed in 228 liters oak barrels and matured for around 9 months.

Tasting Notes

A complex nose with aromas of black fruit and spices.
A lovely depth palate, with a hint of toast. This wine is well structured with mellow tannins. The aromas are powerful and charming, with fine balance.

Food Pairing

Serve with poultry and red meat, with exotic and spicy dishes that will perfectly balance the peppery side of the wine; also with ham and cockerel in sauce, but also spring rolls and barbecued pork chops.
