Domaine des Moirots is a family property that has been producing wine on about 30 acres of vineyards in the southern portion of the Cote Chalonnaise, the region just to the south of the Cote de Beaune. Christophe Denizot handles the operation and produces a collection of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir based wines from his carefully tended vineyards using time-tested traditional methods blended with modern techniques to produce fine wines from the healthiest vines.
His Bourgogne Pinot Noir is produced from about a 5 acre parcel with vines of an average of 35 years. A cold maceration of 4-5 days before beginning the fermentation gives a rich and bright berry fruit to the wine that is aged in their cellars in vats and barriques (30%) for a year before bottling.
The wine is a brilliant ruby color with a bouquet that is open and round with light notes of red raspberry. After a few minutes in the glass, the wine begins to release its expansive aromas. The expression of the Pinot Noir fruit is supple with fine tannins and a roundness that is classic and charming. A fine basic Pinot Noir that is luscious and easy to drink.
