Description
Valmoissine is located on the site of the ancient monastery of Valmoissine at 500 meters above sea-level. This guarantees sunshine during the summer months whilst remaining cool at night and limits the possibility of spring frosts. The vineyard's southern exposure gives the grapes perfect maturity at the same time as the Grands Crus of Corton. The yield is small in order to ensure perfect maturity and concentration of the grapes, the factors that create the best quality wines. This results in an elegant wine with remarkable finesse.

Fermentation
Traditional in open vats

Ageing
10 to 12 months ageing in stainless steel vats.

Tasting Note
Our Valmoissine Pinot Noir 2022 has a deep ruby-red color and a nose with distinctive aromas of cherry and nutmeg. Round and fresh on the palate, it reveals notes of cherry, blackberry and licorice. Nice tannic finish.

Food Pairing
Grilled red meat - cheese - red fruits
