Domaine Denis Carré

This domaine was established by Denis Carré and his wife in 1974 with the first vintage produced in 1975. Situated in the heart of the village of Meloisey in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, it covers 12ha in 12 different appellations. Although not certified, the domaine is farmed organically. It has been run by his son and daughter, Martial and Gaetane, since 2008. Full of energy and passion they are raising the quality of wines produced here at an impressive speed.

A super expressive, joyful Pinot Noir, produced from vines that average 45 years old. A soft red fruits nose, open and lush, turns to a juicy mid-palate that has a lovely black cherry and damson feel to it.

Delicious with pan roasted swordfish steaks with mixed peppercorn butter.

Handpicked, destemmed and crushed gently, before ferment in concrete with regular pump-overs, then transferred into used and new barrels.
