This climat benefits from a continental climate, characterized by cold winters and warm summers, which is ideal for Pinot Noir cultivation. The vineyard’s soils are predominantly limestone mixed with clay, providing excellent drainage and contributing to the finesse and minerality of the wines. The specific microclimate of “Aux Petites Noix” allows for optimal ripening of the grapes, resulting in wines with depth, complexity, and aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe 2016 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru “Aux Petites Noix” is crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, the signature red varietal of Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eStéphane Magnien employs traditional Burgundian vinification methods. The hand-harvested grapes undergo a careful sorting process to ensure only the healthiest fruit is used. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled vats, allowing for a natural and expressive fermentation process. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels, with a modest percentage of new oak to avoid overpowering the delicate Pinot Noir fruit. The aging period typically lasts between 12 to 18 months, during which the wine develops complexity and integrates its tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV (Alcohol by Volume)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe 2016 vintage has an alcohol content of approximately 13% ABV, typical for red Burgundies from this appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe 2016 Domaine Stéphane Magnien Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru “Aux Petites Noix” displays a bright medium red hue.
