Produced from a parcel of 65-year-old Pinot Noir vines in the village of Remigny, Jean-Marc Pillot's Bourgogne Rouge undergoes a meticulous vinification process. Spontaneous fermentation occurs in stainless-steel tanks after partial destemming and a 4-5 day cold soak. Pneumatic pressing and whole-cluster direct pressing precede a 12-month élevage in neutral 228-liter oak barrels. The wine is then transferred to stainless-steel tanks for an additional 3-6 months, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors and a memorable finish.

This little red is a favorite of ours for its rustic, wild berry fruit and ebullient palate presence. The vineyard is located south of Chassagne in the town of Remigny. Some of the vines are quite old, approaching the 60-year mark (as of 2012).
