Fruit Défendu Vieilles Vignes

The grapes come from the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, from old vines on predominantly limestone and marl soils, partly stony. Fermentation takes place with whole bunches, partial carbonic maceration and natural yeasts; the wine is aged for twelve months in neutral or old barrels. Stylistically, it shows bright ruby colour, raspberry, sour cherry, black berries, wild herbs and flowers. Fine acidity, present but not hard tannins and a salty, peppery finish shape the slender, energetic body. The old vines, planted between 1940 and 1960, are a distinctive feature of the cuvée.
