Bourgogne Pinot Noir Sous Montot, 2023

A fourth-generation Santenay grower who trained at Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, making Pinot from a single hillside plot. Perfumed and silky rather than heavy.

Pinot Noir from a single hillside plot near Santenay, planted in 1976 and farmed without weedkillers or insecticides by David Moreau, whose grandparents founded the estate. It smells of rose petal, wild raspberry and red cherry, with a hint of blue fruit and damp earth. On the palate it is medium-bodied and silky, with bright freshness and a long, pretty finish.
