100% Pinot Noir
Tasting notes
A characterful red Chassagne-Montrachet from around 40-year-old vines. Aged partly in well-seasoned barrels and partly in tank, it shows a deep, ripe fruit profile of red and dark berries, supported by present but polished tannins. Generous and well balanced, it pairs nicely with roast pork, duck or mushroom dishes.
About the Winery
After training at hotel school, François d'Allaines founded his wine business in 1990 in Demigny, on the border of the Côte d'Or and Saône-et-Loire, and created his own domaine in 2009. He works as both grower and négociant, and his wines appear regularly in France's Guide Hachette.
His style is built on fully ripe grapes and long barrel ageing, aiming for balance, purity and a true expression of each Burgundy terroir.
