Where this wine come from?
Burgundy is one of world’s oldest and most prestigious wine region; it is here that pinot noir, one of the most noble grape varieties, and Chardonnay find their maximum expression.
In Burgundy there are 1247 different Climats, each Climat is a vine plot, precisely delimited according to its own microclimate and specific geological conditions, which has been carefully marked out and named over the centuries.
Soil: the soil in Burgundy can change radically from one vineyard to the next. They contains a mix of clay, gravel and jurassic limestone and marl.
Curiosity
- Pinot noir is also called enfant terrible because is small and pestiferous but at the same time unique and unrepeatable, it is the noblest of the red grape varieties. It is cultivated everywhere in the world but its truest and most elegant essence is in Burgundy.
