The vineyard of `Clos de Mortières` was planted in 1985 while we are currently replacing a small plot of 65 acres.
Tasting Notes: Dark ruby colour with purple tints. The nose develops blackcurrant buds aromas, fresh fruits and floral notes as violet. Great finesse, lovely texture. Soft tannins recalling red fruits notes.
Food Pairing: `Clos de Mortières` will perfectly pair with a peppery steak or other grilled meats or in a sauce. Blue cheeses as Fourme d`Ambert or Bleu de Geix will do a tasty job as well.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy`s Côte d`Or.
Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climates of the Côte d`Or.
Because of the thinness of the skins, Pinot Noir wines are lighter in colour, body and tannins. However the best wines have grip, complexity and an intensity of fruit seldom found in wine from other grapes. Young Pinot Noir can smell almost sweet, redolent with freshly crushed raspberries, cherries and redcurrants. When mature, the best wines develop a sensuous, silky mouth feel with the fruit flavours deepening and gamey "sous-bois" nuances emerging.
The best examples are still found in Burgundy, although Pinot Noir`s key role in Champagne should not be forgotten. It is grown throughout the world with notable success in the Carneros and Russian River Valley districts of California, and the Martinborough and Central Otago regions of New Zealand.
