Côte de Beaune Premiers Crus

The Beaune vineyards are the most extensive of the Côte de Beaune, with a high number of Premiers Crus (36) due to the ideal incline of the majority of these vineyards. Clos des Ursules is a walled portion (or clos) of the Premier Cru Vignes Franches vineyard and has been owned by the Jadot family since 1826. The Pinot Noir grapes are destemmed and fermented in open tanks for up to one month, then matured in oak barrels for 15 to 18 months before blending.
100% Pinot Noir
Aged for 12 to 15 years in the bottle.
This was a somewhat turbulent growing season. Lack of soil moisture and a poor fruit set diminished the harvest volumes. However, the fruit was harvested in perfect condition and vinification proceeded uneventfully to produce pristine and classic wines.
The vineyard’s southern exposure gives these wine powerful, mature red fruit aromas. Rich and well structured.
This will pair well with most meat dishes and cheeses.
