Tasting Notes
Appearance:
In the glass, this Pinot Noir displays a luminous ruby red hue, vibrant and inviting, with a clarity that highlights its purity.
Nose:
The bouquet opens with an enticing medley of fresh red berries, notably wild strawberries and raspberries, layered with delicate floral notes and a subtle hint of earthiness. The influence of the stony soils lends a distinctive minerality, adding complexity and character to the aromatic profile.
Palate:
On the palate, Santenay Clos des Gatsulards is elegant and harmonious, offering a refined structure supported by vivacious acidity and silky tannins. Flavours of ripe red cherry and raspberry intermingle with undertones of spice and a touch of savoury, forest floor character. The wine's time spent in French oak brings a gentle toastiness and depth without overwhelming the delicate fruit.
Finish:
The finish is long and graceful, lifted by the wine's bright acidity and lingering red fruit notes. A subtle minerality and whisper of oak add sophistication, inviting you back for another sip. This Pinot Noir makes an exquisite pairing with beef tartar, beef tataki, roasted poultry, veal, lamb, a mushroom tart or a selection of hard cheeses.
