The estate style is one of rich opulent whites and full-bodied, powerful reds that age spectacularly. Vinification is traditional; nearly all the Pinot Noir is destemmed, given an extended maceration of 15 to 25 days and aged for 12-18 months in a mixture of 400 litre and 228 litre barrels, a high proportion of which is renewed each year. The estate has been certified organic by Ecocert since 2013.Food Match: Perfectly pairs with duck or goose dishes, cheeses such as Époisses or LangresNuits St Georges 1er Cru En Rue de Chaux, Domaine Bertrand Ambroise, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy, France, 2022</p>
