Bourgogne Pinot Noir Coulanges-la-Vineuse
The Côte de Nanteau area of the vineyard enjoys southerly exposure and enables the Pinot Noir to reach its optimum ripeness. The wine is cloaked in a purple robe and has a generous palate which goes hand in hand with a gentle nose of candied fruits.
Product type: French Red wine, Pinot Noir, Auxerrois, Burgundy, France (Dept. Yonne)
Vineyard location: Very steep sloping vineyard at the top of a hill enjoying outstanding southerly exposure.
Vine population: Pinot Noir – 8000 vine stocks per hectare.
Average age of vines: 33 years old.
Bottle closure: premium natural cork and capsule.
Wine-growing terroir: Limestone from Kimmeridgian (mid and upper Jurassic) geological stratum.
Wine-making techniques: Maceration in vats for two to three weeks, regular pushing down of skins by hand (pigeages) and pumping-over, 12 months' maturing in vats.
Tasting notes & ageing potential: Clear, deep ruby/crimson robe with a bright sheen; subtle and delicate nose characterised by notes of small fresh red fruits. Deliciously fresh and soft on the palate with rather a light texture and a freshness of aromas for overall balance.
In this wine, the Pinot Noir is expressed with great finesse. Aromas of a rare delicateness and soft tannins are revealed. This is a sought-after wine with a strong identity.
The Boulogne Coulanges can be drunk immediately to enjoy its full freshness and with ageing will maintain its aromatic finesse for between three and six years.
Recommended serving temperature 14 to 16°C.

Our Bourgogne Coulanges is a wine of great finesse and will complement both the most refined and rustic of dishes, such as sautéed veal in a three citrus sauce or salt-crusted roast beef with cepe mushrooms. Bourgogne Coulanges is also ideal for serving with soft cheeses.
