Pinot Noir Grand Maître

The vines from whose fruit this wine is made were planted back in 1975. The grapes are fermented in wooden vats, but not all of them are destemmed. A good fifth of the grapes are crushed on the skins, which gives the wine a certain tension, freshness, precision and elegance. The Grand Maître is then aged in barriques for around ten months, around half of which is new. After another ten months, the wine is bottled without filtration. It has a wonderful aroma of dark cherries and raspberries. The fine spicy component gives the bouquet freshness and a mysterious touch. The wine fills the palate, builds up and is shaped and carried by its fine-grained tannins. Its finish is juicy and infinitely long. Give the wine time in the bottle or carafe, it will thank you. This is a wine that is still somewhat under the radar of wine connoisseurs and lovers.
