Beaune

Montagne Saint Désiré

Takes its name from the hermit Saint-Désert who decided to set up his house and a chapel on this mountain in Beaune.

A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.

Tasting

Tasting note

This Beaune seduces with its finesse and complexity. The nose is elegant, offering aromas of white-fleshed fruits, such as pear and apple, mixed with delicate floral notes and a slight mineral touch. On the palate, it presents a beautiful freshness, with a round substance and a nice fatness which gives it depth.

Food pairings

Ideal with a cold lobster Bavarian, shrimp bisque or truffle brie.
