Description
Still red from the prestigious Chambolle-Musigny in Burgundy, 13% ABV, 100% Pinot Noir, produced by Domaine Michel Gros, a family of winemakers since 1830. 0.75 L bottle, 2021 vintage. A wine that embodies the elegance and finesse of Burgundian Pinot Noir, the result of manual harvesting and meticulous vinification. Destemming and then fermentation in concrete tanks. Selected yeasts are added after 24-48 hours. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature (max 32°C). Pumping over is done twice daily (morning and evening) until halfway through the fermentation process. The wine is then decanted for several days in a tank. Aged in barrels, some new and some previously used, after decanting, for approximately 18 months. The ratio of new to previously used barrels depends on the type of wine. A bouquet of toasted oak and raspberry with smoky notes blending together in a harmonious bouquet. A bright red color. Very fine tannins with a light acidity create an elegant profile with a long, silky finish.
