Côte de Beaune

A key wine-producing district of Burgundy in the east of France.

The Côte de Beaune area is the southern part of the Côte d'Or, the limestone ridge that is home to the great names of Burgundy wine. The Côte de Beaune starts between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune, and extends southwards for about 25 km to the river Dheune. The trend of producing red wines continues from the Côte de Nuits to the north, down through Beaune, although the wines become lighter and more perfumed. Farther south lie the great names of white Burgundy such as Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Product Details

Bourgogne Pinot Noir En Montre-Cul 2016, Chateau de Marsannay

This place owes its name to the steep slope of the hillside and to the women who worked it, revealing so many assets that the vineyard was named after them. (Montre-cul means to show your backside!).

Soil: The soils here are gravelly, rather like those of Beaune-Grèves. Clay-limestone composed of screes originating from Bathnonien limestone oolites gravel and Comblanchien limestone from upper Bathnonien.

Harvest: manual harvest followed by a manual sorting.

Vinification: after partially destalking the grapes, the berries are put into thermo-regulated stainless steel vats for a perfect cold maceration of Pinot Noir. The fermentation may be punctuated by push downs in order to obtain a soft and complete extraction.
Ageing: in oak barrels and in wooden vats. Time of ageing: 9 months in oak barrels then 1 month in a tank

Tasting: Expressive and powerful nose with notes of ripe black fruits and spices. Re ined and well-balanced palate, ample and leshy, with a nice persistence on a pleasant freshness typical of the terroir.
