Côte de Beaune Villages 2005

Grape Variety : Pinot Noir

Soil : Limestone with clay

Site : Selected plots of vineyards in Côte de Beaune villages, mostly Pernand-Vergelesses, Auxey-Duresses and Ladoix.

The Vintage 2005 : Harvest took place in the early days of September after a dry and very hot summer after a superb growing season - long and cold winter followed by a rainy and humid spring. Exceptional weather conditions for an exceptional vintage. Full maturation of the grapes and good concentration.

Tasting : Bright ruby colour. Intense aromas of red fruit (cherry) with a hint of chocolate and a delicate vanilla note. Concentrated, well-crafted and generous. Beautiful fruit combination enhanced by an elegant oak note and well-defined tannins. Long aftertaste.

Food pairing : To be enjoyed with warm starters, white meat, matured cheeses.
