This Beaune "Clos de l'Ermitage" 2018 comes from a plot located at altitude on the Montagne St-Désiré. The Pinot Noir, on clay-limestone soils on hard limestone from the Oxfordian, will express all its finesse, in a taut register combined with a characteristic minerality. The large presence of Meurgers (piles of stones "built" by man) attests to this shallow and particularly rocky soil.

The nose of this Beaune "Clos de l'Ermitage" reveals toasted, smoky scents, aromas of red fruits very Pinot Noir with some touches of leather and undergrowth. Fine and elegant, the tannins are dense and fine, in a mouth of very frank structure. Beautiful length dominated by the mineral side of the terroir. It will go well with well-cooked red meats, game with a fine taste and cheeses that are not very spicy and delicate.
