Pinot Noir from Hautes Cotes de Nuits, Cote de Beaune, Cote d'Or, Burgundy, France
Notes from the Winemaker
Arcenant, a small village in the middle of the Meuzin valley, 7 km west of Nuits-Saint-Georges. It is situated on a south-east exposed slope at an altitude reaching 360m to 420m (it is almost 100m higher than the Côte vineyard!). This difference in altitude imposes a later harvest than on the Côte (almost 8 days later). The wine is aged 18 months in French oak barrels (20 to 30% new depending on the vintage).
Reviews and Accolades
90 Points/Wine Spectator This red exudes pure cherry, floral and strawberry aromas and flavors, matched to an elegant frame. Lively and focused, with fine balance and length.
