What’s In It: 100% Pinot Noir
How It Was Made:
VINEYARDS: Estate holdings in ‘Clos de L’Orme’ total just under one acre, bordering premier cru ‘Charmes.’ Located on a gentle slope with soils rich in gravel (alluvial runoff from the “combe” of Chambolle), estate vines represent a wide selection of rootstock from successive plantings (ranging from 1940 to 1997). The estate believes this contributes to the wine’s complexity in aroma and flavor.
WINEMAKING: Hand-harvested. Partially destemmed (30-50%), with a brief cold maceration; fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled cement tanks. Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels, with approx. 20% new oak.
