2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019
FORMATS :
Half-bottle and bottle
WINEMAKING :
Harvested and rigorously sorted by hand. Maceration and winemaking in an open oak vat with immersed cap. Matured for 10 months in demi-muid casks and barrels before aging in stainless steel vats, in the cellar at a constant temperature. Malolactic fermentation in barrels; no fining, no filtering.
TASTING :
Colour: brilliant, deep red. The nose is typical of the Pinot Noirs of the Terroir of Cumieres with some morello cherry (griotte) coming through.
In the mouth a smooth balance is formed between red fruits and silky, delicate tannins.
PAIRING :
The delicate structure of this Cumières Rouge makes it ideal to accompany white meats (roast veal, guinea fowl…). When served at a temperature of 12° C, it goes surprisingly well with some fish dishes, such as turbot with its jus.
