Pinot Noir Champs Blancs

The vines take their roots on clay-limestone soil, very well suited to Pinot Noir, at Légny in the Pierres Dorées. The grapes are mostly vinified in whole bunch. This gives a fruity, crunchy wine with richness and structure.

Colour

Brilliant ruby red color.

Nose

Offering up notes of raspberries, cherries and dried flowers.

Mouth feel

Medium-bodied, ample and succulent, with a fleshy core of fruit, melting tannins and an open-knit, charming profile. It's a creditable wine.

Food and wine pairings

Perfect for the Antilliean and Asian lightly spiced cuisine as well as for all the types of red and white meat, Lyon region cuisine such as andouillette, roasted bunny and the chocolate desserts.

« Offering up notes of raspberries, cherries and dried flowers, the 2019 Bourgogne Pinot Noir Les Champs Blancs is medium-bodied, ample and succulent, with a fleshy core of fruit, melting tannins and an open-knit, charming profile. While it can't match Chermette's wines made from Gamay, it's a creditable wine. »
