Beaune Champimonts
1er Cru 2006
Grape Variety : Pinot Noir
Soil : Limestone with clay
Site : On the southern hill of Beaune, a vineyard of 2 hectares, mid slope facing East.
The Vintage 2006 : The weather at the start of summer was quite demanding. However, the sun appeared at the end of August and continued throughout September. The harvest commenced in mid-September in perfect conditions. Careful selection of grapes in the vineyard and winery have produced beautiful wines with very pure aromas. Aged in French oak for 13 months.
Tasting : Ruby colour. Intense aromas of red fruit mixed with spicy nuances. Subtle vanilla note. Well-structured and well balanced. Very fine texture. Beautiful aromatic combination. Well-integrated oak and fine tannins. Good persistence.
Food pairing : It is perfectly matched with red meat grilled or en sauce and all cheeses, especially the local cheeses like Epoisses or Citeaux.
