- WINEMAKER: Marc & Alexandre Bachelet
- FARMING: Practicing Organic
- VARIETY: Pinot Noir
- TERROIR: Sourced from the Premier Cru vineyard Les Chanlins, located adjacent to Pommard. This steep, southeast-facing site features 40-year-old vines planted on rocky, limestone-rich soils, contributing to the wine's structure and minerality.
- VINIFICATION: 15% whole cluster fermentation with indigenous yeasts.
- AGING: Aged in 350L barrels, with 15% new oak, to enhance complexity while preserving fruit purity.
- TASTING NOTES: Aromas of red cherries, wild strawberries, and subtle floral notes, with hints of earth and spice. The palate is fresh and energetic, with silky tannins and a refined, mineral-driven finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Roast duck, mushroom risotto, coq au vin, or charcuterie.
