Domaine Emmanuel Giboulot, Hautes Cotes de Nuits Sous Le Mont 2022

A 100% Pinot Noir with notes of strawberry, cherry and touch of black liquorice and hints of violet. Fresh, mineral and fruity with soft tannins but lots of structure. The perfect pairing for a cheese plate. From two parcels with 20 and 50 year-old, southeast facing vines on soils of marl and limestone with clay bands. Cultivated biodynamically since 1985, the grapes are picked by hand, destemmed and fermented in open wooden vats. The press and free-run juice are blended, allowed to settle, then rest about 20 days in tank. The extraction of aromas, tannins and colour is natural (no yeasts, enzymes or heat) and is done by traditional pumping over and punching down. The wine is then aged for 12 months in only old oak barrels.
