Chapelle de Blagny 1er Cru Blagny 'Sous le Dos de l'Ane' 2019

100% Pinot Noir.  

Vine on average 30 years.  Matured for 12 months in oak barrels, 30 % new oak, then 3 to 6 months in stainless steel tanks.   The Blagny “sous le dos d’âne” Premier Cru, just like its neighbor Meursault-Blagny Premier Cru Blanc, is strongly marked by its terroir. It is one of very few appellations in the Côte de Beaune where Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grow happily side by side on the same parcel.

Aromas of bright red fruits (cherry, raspberry), violets, and warm spices, with soft wood tones.  Fleshy and well-balanced, displaying a "precise" and "light-footed" structure. Flavors include black cherries, dark fruits, and peppery, savory notes.  It is characterized by silky tannins, vibrant acidity.  13.5% ABV
