Arnaud and Laure Baillot craft terroir-driven wines from their 10-hectare organically farmed vineyard, focusing on precision and purity. This cuvée captures the vibrant red- fruit expression and finesse typical of the Côte d’Or, reflecting both the couple’s artisanal approach and the timeless complexity of Burgundy’s limestone-clay terroir.
Appellation: Bourgogne Côte d’Or
Region: Burgundy
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Winemaking: Organic agriculture; manual harvest with sorting and parcel-by-parcel ripeness monitoring; ~30% whole clusters; short, low-sulfite fermentation in stainless steel; no pigeage; remontage twice daily to end of fermentation; 15 months in Burgundy oak (≈10% new); bottled unfiltered.
Tasting Notes: Nice purple colour; delicate red-fruit aromas; simple and elegant; a fine example of Pinot Noir on Burgundian terroir.
Pairings: Superb with roast chicken with herbs, seared duck breast with cherry glaze, grilled salmon with mushroom lentils, and mushroom ravioli with sage-brown butter.
