DOMAINE RENE LEQUIN-COLIN SANTENAY "VIEILLES VIGNES" ROUGE
$76.00
PRODUCT INFORMATION
A blend of three plots in Santenay, this old-vines pinot noir over-delivers in every way. To the east of the commune is “Champs Claude” with vines 70+years old; closer to Chassagne is “Les Hates” with vines 50-55 years old; and “Clos Genet” where the vines are 40-45 years old. François believes that “Les Hates” brings structure, and the other two sites bring finesse and fruitiness. The wine is fermented by native yeasts in neutral barrique, with 20% new barrels. Elevage continues for a 12-month period under the same barrel program, followed by an additional 3 months in stainless steel before bottling.

AROMA:
|
It explodes on the nose with both floral (mauve lilac) and fruity (burlap cherry) notes.
|
|
PALATE:
|
Its tannic structure, though tight, reveals the terribly earthy character of Santenay. Pinot speaks the truth with that Burgundian accent that makes it inimitable.

Wonderful with roast poultry, veal or pork, beef bourguignon, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, or mild and semi-soft cheeses like Brie or Reblochon.
