Tasting notes
Peculiarity
The nearby forest, reduced sun exposure, and cooler temperatures favour a slow ripening process with high natural acidity. The soil consists of mixed, sandy glacial deposits with low fertility. The vines are forced to root deeply in search of nutrients, lending the wine the same inner strength found in the other Mazon crus. At the same time, this Pinot Noir is more delicate and fresh, with paler hues. It has personality, but reveals a quieter, more restrained soul.
