Capitain Gagnerot Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2021

100% Pinot Noir

Vines planted in 1952.  

Biodynamic Certified, estate grown grapes, entirely by hand. Crop is entirely destalked.  Vat maturation for a 12 day period. Cap is punched twice daily, with one ‘pumping over’, whilst the temperature of fermentation is between 15 and 20°C.   10% matured in new oak, whilst the remainder matures in old oak.  Nice bouquet of cranberry, raspberry and a bit of earth. The wine is surprisingly quite structured and a very serious wine. Concentrated black cherries, cranberries, forest floor and a little spice come through on the palate. Well balanced with good transparency and acidity.  13.1% ABV
