How our red wines are elaborated :
After the Pinot Noir grapes have been harvested for each of our 3 appellations, the grapes are stored in vats for around 10 days to allow alcoholic fermentation to take place.
Once fermentation is complete, all the grapes are pressed and then drawn off to retain only the fermented juice. For Bourgogne cuvée Marguerite and Maranges 1er Cru Clos Roussots, the wine is then placed in oak barrels for around 10 months. For the Hautes Côtes de Beaune ‘Vieilles Vignes’, the wine is kept in vats for around 10 months.
At the end of this period, malolactic fermentation is complete. The barrels will be assembled in vats for each of the appellations. The 3 wines will remain in vats for 1 month before filtration and bottling.
red wines
Hautes Côtes de Beaune "vieilles vignes
The Hautes Côtes de Beaune is made mainly from vines planted between 1961 and 1991. These Pinot Noir plants are grown on the two hillsides of the commune of Change (hamlet of Marcheseuil and lieu-dit Chassagne) and cover an area of 6.27 hectares. Its bright red/garnet colour is accompanied by a sweet, fruity note.
It goes well with :
- meat in sauce
- Wild meat
- strong cheese (e.g. Epoisses or Cîteaux)
- a terrine
- Couscous
Bourgogne "cuvée Marguerite"
We grow 1.20 hectares of Pinot Noir in the sandy-clay soils of Saint-Sernin-du-Plain.
This berry-flavoured wine is smooth on tasting and goes perfectly with :
- fondue
- blue cheeses
- freshwater fish
- a spicy dish
Maranges 1er Cru "Les Clos Roussots"
Grown in the commune of Cheilly-lès-Maranges, our parcel of 55.57a is located on limestone soils. Made from Pinot Noir grapes, this is the most tannic wine in our selection. In addition to its dark red colour and fruity flavour, our barrel-ageing gives it a marked woodiness.
It is an ideal accompaniment to :
- strong cheese
- game
- grilled red meat
