This wine will surprise and impress you with depth and fruit not often seen in the Cote d'Or. The Pinot Noir for this wine is found in the village of Bussieres and is sourced from the lieu-dit "Les Clos". The vines are south-facing at 350 feet above sea level on gently sloping hills that are principally composed of clay. The fruit tends to ripen early due to its excellent exposure.
100% Pinot Noir from the gently sloping lieu dit of Le Clos in the village of Bussières, this organic red is bright and elegant. It's made from 100% Estate grown Pinot Noir vines that average 40 years old and are sustainably farmed in adherence to the guidelines of Lutte Raisonnée. The bunches are destemmed, and fermented with punch downs and pour overs to extract additional color and tannin. Vibrant dark cherry notes, medium acidity and moderate tannins give way to subtle earthiness, a hint of rosemary or thyme and a firm, dry finish. Light in body, it can serve as a refreshing counterpoint to a triple crème Brie, yet it’s complex and structured enough to stand up to roasted duck.

Illahe Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir begins with strawberry, tamarind, and blackberry then broaden along the palate to include chalk, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and earth. The acid supports a complete yet not overwhelming tannin balanced between skin and oak. The wine retains its velvet mouthfeel through a process of clarification by racking.
