Description Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes Rouge

Estate

Au Pied du Mont Chauve is a renowned estate producing high-quality wines for several generations. It benefits from an exceptional terroir that allows the Pinot Noir to express itself fully. The winery pays close attention to every step of the winemaking process. Their wine reflects finesse and elegance characteristic of the region. Careful vineyard management ensures consistently refined wines.

Vineyard

Located in the Côte de Beaune, the vineyard features limestone and clay-limestone soils ideal for Pinot Noir maturation. South-east exposure guarantees optimal ripening conditions. The vines are cultivated sustainably with respect for the environment. Preserving the terroir is a priority for the estate. The vineyard density is optimized to enhance grape quality each vintage.

Wine

This Saint-Aubin 1er Cru displays a deep red color. On the nose, it releases ripe red fruit aromas with spicy notes. On the palate, it exhibits a fine structure with soft tannins and a bright freshness. Its complexity highlights the finesse of the terroir. The wine has a long finish, making it well-balanced and elegant. It can be enjoyed young or after a few years of aging.

Vintage

The 2020 vintage was characterized by a hot summer followed by early harvests. It yields wines rich in fruit with notable concentration. Optimal ripeness was achieved, resulting in well-matured grapes. Favorable weather conditions contributed significantly to grape quality. Overall, this vintage is appreciated for its finesse and complexity.

Winemaking & Aging

The wine is vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit freshness. Native yeasts are used for fermentation to respect the terroir’s profile. Aging lasts approximately 12 to 18 months, mainly in oak barrels, some of which are new. This imparts subtle oaky notes harmoniously integrated with the fruit. Early temperature control prevents premature oxidation. Regular racking ensures stability and clarity, enhancing finesse.
