2021 Bourgogne Pinot Noir Les Ursulines Jean-Claude Boisset

Pinot Noir is invariably associated with Burgundy, and indeed it is here that this variety finds the conditions most conducive to its development. Pinot Noir owes its fame to its native terroir in Burgundy, where it is the only grape used for practically all red wine production (except in Beaujolais).

In addition, the region's soils and temperate climate suit this variety perfectly, as it does not like hot, humid weather. Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune produce arguably the best Pinot Noir wines in the world.

This wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir, which comes from 35-40 year old vines growing on clay and limestone soils

The grapes are hand-picked and sorted first in the vineyard and second on the sorting table when they arrive at the winery.

The grapes are completely destemmed upon arrival at the winery and gently pressed and gravity poured into the fermentation tank. Total maceration of about twenty days.

Matured on the lees for 7 months without racking, in French oak barrels, 10% of which are new lightly toasted oak barrels.

The wine appears with a very intense dark red color and develops aromas of ripe red fruits, including cherries and blackberries, as well as some peppery notes. The taste is powerful with a very nice freshness and silky tannins.
