Description
Domaine du Chancelier’s 2022 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune ‘La Rave Nord’ Vieilles Vignes is a distinguished red Burgundy crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Sourced from 55-year-old vines in the ‘La Rave Nord’ climat of Meloisey, this southwest-facing vineyard’s clay-rich soils impart intensity and elegance to the wine. The vines are traditionally managed with low trellising and Guyot simple pruning. Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo meticulous sorting and are vinified without sulfur in stainless steel tanks, with a maceration period of approximately 21 days to ensure gentle extraction. The wine matures on its lees for about 12 months in French oak barrels, with 10% to 25% new oak, enhancing its complexity. This Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune exhibits a ruby hue, with aromas of red fruits and subtle spices. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of fruit and freshness, with fine tannins and a lingering finish. ‘La Rave Nord’ exemplifies the elegance and precision characteristic of the Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune appellation.
