Description
Appellation: Appellation of the Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges Village or Village Premier Cru followed or not by the locality of origin produces mainly red wine.
The Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin was founded in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 1934; Soil: Clay-limestone
Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir
Vinification:
Harvest: The grapes are cut and sorted by hand.
Vinification: The grapes are destemmed and then placed between 2 and 4 days in stainless steel vats for pre-fermentation maceration. The vinification is done in vats.
Ageing: Malolactic fermentation and ageing take place in oak barrels for 8 to 12 months.
Tasting: Its purple robe, intense and sometimes moving towards mauve has a beautiful brilliance and offers a dense, sophisticated nose marked by aromas of blackcurrant and blueberry, enhanced by woody notes when young. Strong and vigorous, this full-bodied wine is chewy, balanced and structured. Long in the mouth, it is fully appreciated after a few years’ keeping: maturity gives it a sensual, sophisticated roundness.
Food pairing: In addition to soft and washed rind cheeses, such as Epoisses, Langres or Soumaintrain, it is also ideal when partnered with flavoursome meats such as roast lamb, rib of beef, breast of duck or game.
