Deep purple with an intense nose of mixed red and black berry fruit. The energetic acidity lifts up the darker fruit tones, allowing attractive strawberry and blackcurrant notes to come throguh. At the same time there are pleasant soft tannins framing an already refined structure which culminates on a long, spicy finish.
The Maison owns small holdings in Savigny and Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune, both organic certified since 2017. The remainder of the grapes is sourced from trusted winegrowers (mainly friends of Bastien), who work in organic or assimilated organic viticulture. Bastien is part of the new generation of vignerons who are actively trying to transcribe the link between terroir and vineyard thanks to a non interventionist approach to winemaking.
He favors simple vinifications, with relatively short macerations and fermentations to not over-extract. All the wines are aged in barrels, the oldest are from 2014. The reds see exclusively barriques with a tiny amount of new oak presence for the top-of-the-range wines (less than 30% in all cases). This results in wines with subtle toastiness lifted by pure delicate fruit. Harmoniously layered with a beautiful ageing potential.
The fruit comes from a superb small climat right in the centre of the village at the bottom of the slope. Partly de-stemmed fruit vinified in tank and aged in oak barrels for 12 months. A very tiny amount of the oak is new.
