P. Dubreuil Fontaine Beaune Rouge Montrevenots Premier Cru 2021

The Montrevenots vineyard lies on the border with Pommard and just above "Clos des Mouches." It has iron-rich soils and a southerly exposure. Dubreuil-Fontaine's parcel of Pinot Noir vines here is just a few rows, less than an acre, and is 35 years old. Hand picked, 100% destemmed, gently pressed for a cool fermentation in stainless steel and then 15 months in barrel, 25% new oak. Clementine tasting her 2021 Montrevenots: "Dense, deep color in the glass. Rose, peony and plummy fruit aromas rise up. A velvety texture in the mouth, some raspberry, crushed strawberries, as well as minerality. Rich and concentrated aromas and a good length."
