These vineyards benefit from clay-limestone soils and a favorable microclimate that contributes to the wine’s depth and structure. The old vines yield grapes with concentrated flavors, enhancing the wine’s complexity and aging potential. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled vats.

On the palate, it offers rich, delicious, and intense medium-bodied flavors with very good mid-palate concentration. The wine displays solid length on a dusty, youthfully austere, and more powerful finale. It is a wine of great power, rich, concentrated, with velvety tannins. Its youthful woody notes will soften over the years to reveal remarkable complexity.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood \u0026amp; Wine Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis robust Pinot Noir pairs excellently with rich meat dishes such as roast duck, venison, or beef bourguignon.
