The Story
Sourced from a 45-are parcel planted in 1968, perched just above the Clos Saint-Denis Premier Cru at 330 metres, this 1er Cru Chaffots benefits from a sun-drenched, east-southeast facing slope and cooling valley breezes. The 2020 shows deep, intense colour, with a refined bouquet of black cherry, plum, subtle spice, forest floor and cedar. The palate is taut and precise, layered with ripe, mature tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish that speaks clearly of its exceptional terroir.
A structured and age-worthy Pinot Noir, it pairs beautifully with roast game, lamb or earthy mushroom dishes and will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 10–15 years.
