A generously fruity Pinot Noir from this lesser known village, adjacent to Volnay, in the Cote de Beaune, from one of the region’s unassuming, but highly talented, artisan winemakers. What a lovely bottle of Burgundy!

The estate spreads over 8 ha divided into plots of various sizes in the communes of Saint Romain, Auxey Duresses, Meursault, Monthelie, Pommard and Beaune: a varied range of terroirs which makes the work of expressing the wines fascinating.
A wonderfully structured, brooding yet perfumed Monthelie. Sourced from 3 parcels of 40-50yr old Pinot vines, planted on fractured limestone soils, facing SE. Pascal calls this wine 'Une Petit Volnay' and rightly so, as all 3 parcels border the Volnay 1er cru vineyard of Sous La Vielle. After de-stemming and sorting twice, the grapes are fermented in tank before ageing in 20% new and 80% 1 and 2 year old barrels for 12 months. His yields are low - around 40HL/Ha for this wine
