    Description of Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes Rouge

    Estate

    The Au Pied du Mont Chauve vineyard is renowned for its high-quality red wines made from the Pinot Noir grape variety. This estate is named after its specific terroir located on a hillside, providing optimal exposure for grape maturation.

    Vineyard

    Located in Côte de Beaune, in the Saint-Aubin commune, this vineyard benefits from a temperate climate and chalky soil favorable to producing elegant and concentrated red wines. The terroir consists of clay and limestone with a marly subsoil that adds finesse and structure to the wine.

    Wine

    This Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Au Pied du Mont Chauve 2020 is a red wine exclusively from Pinot Noir, characterized by its elegance, balance and aromatic complexity. It expresses red fruit and undergrowth aromas gracefully, with a solid tannic structure typical of Saint-Aubin premier crus.

    Vintage

    The 2020 vintage offered ideal climatic conditions with a warm, dry summer allowing perfect grape ripeness. This vintage stands out for its balanced freshness and fine aromatic expression, with a noteworthy aging potential.

    Vinification & Aging

    Vinification is traditionally carried out in vats to preserve the freshness and typicity of Pinot Noir. Aging is conducted in oak barrels, partially new, for about 12 to 15 months, adding complexity and tannic support without weighting the wine down.
