Trognes De Pinot 2023

Description

Domaine La Côtelette is a small-scale producer in Burgundy, known for its commitment to organic and natural farming methods. Les Trognes de Pinot comes from old Pinot Noir vines, some exceeding 100 years in age, grown on limestone-rich soils. These soils, combined with a relatively cool climate, create the perfect environment for Pinot Noir, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop a remarkable balance of fruit, acidity, and complexity.

The 2023 vintage underwent a slightly extended maceration period, which enhanced the structure and aromatic depth of the wine. Whole-cluster fermentation with indigenous yeasts preserves the purity of the fruit, while ageing in neutral oak barrels adds subtle texture without overpowering the delicate nuances of Pinot Noir.

This wine showcases a captivating bouquet of red cherries, raspberries, and a touch of wild strawberry, with underlying notes of forest floor and wet stone. On the palate, it is elegant and vibrant, with fine-grained tannins and a refreshing finish. The interplay of bright acidity and ripe fruit highlights the winemaking skill at Domaine La Côtelette, offering a wine that is both refined and expressive of Burgundy’s terroir.
