A supple and expressive Chorey-lès-Beaune from Domaine Catherine et Claude Maréchal, offering a pure and finely balanced expression of Pinot Noir from the Côte de Beaune. Crafted with a focus on respectful viticulture and minimal intervention, this wine reflects both the clarity of its fruit and the understated depth of its terroir.
Tasting Notes:
Bright ruby in the glass, the nose is open and fragrant, showing ripe red cherry, raspberry and subtle earthy undertones. The palate is generous yet finely structured, with juicy red fruit supported by silky tannins and fresh acidity. A gentle savoury edge adds complexity, leading to a balanced, persistent finish.
Winemaking:
Grapes are hand harvested at full maturity and carefully sorted before a natural fermentation using indigenous yeasts. Gentle extraction is achieved through regular pump-overs, followed by maturation in French oak barrels for 10 to 15 months, with a modest proportion of new oak. The wine is bottled with minimal intervention to preserve purity and texture.
Food Pairing:
A versatile red Burgundy that pairs well with roast poultry, grilled meats and charcuterie. It also complements mushroom-based dishes and soft cheeses, where its freshness and supple structure bring balance and lift.
ABV: 14.5%
