Made exclusively from \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it stands out for its ruby red colour. The aromatic profile combines lively \u003cstrong\u003efruity notes\u003c\/strong\u003e with hints of undergrowth. On the palate, it expresses an elegant and mineral style, characterised by a depth that evolves into a persistent and harmonious finish. The vinification, guided by \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhances the identity of the grape variety, preserving its natural freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the southern sector of \u003cstrong\u003eNuits Saint Georges\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the heart of the prestigious Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. In this area, the characteristics of the soil give the wines a mineral and refined character, combined with significant structure. The Louis Lequin vineyards are spread over several plots, treated only with organic fertilisers. In addition to Pinot Noir, the estate also grows \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e for the production of white wines. The management of the rows involves the \u003cstrong\u003eCordon de Royat pruning\u003c\/strong\u003e system, which is essential for controlling yields and ensuring optimal sun exposure and aeration of the bunches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by the selection of the grapes, which are mostly destemmed, with possible use of whole bunches. Vinification lasts for about a month and goes through three key stages: a cold maceration, spontaneous fermentation, and a final phase of skin contact for balanced extraction. The wine then matures through \u003cstrong\u003eageing in French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for a period ranging from ten to sixteen months. The judicious use of \u003cstrong\u003enew wood\u003c\/strong\u003e enriches the structure and aromatic complexity, while maintaining overall harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elegant \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e expresses the true soul of Burgundy and comes from the prestigious AOC Nuits-Saint-Georges. Made from grapes grown with organic fertilisers and hand-harvested, the wine reveals remarkable depth combined with refined fruity and undergrowth notes.
