Notes:

Made since the domaine’s inaugural vintage in 2012, the Trois Cépages is 60% Pinot Noir, 35% Trousseau and 5% Poulsard. These vineyards are all in the village of Montigny-lès-Arsures, on grey and black marl soils, partially covered with limestone scree. The vineyards are mainly west-facing, between 300 and 400 meters above sea level. The wines are aged in 350L and 500L barrels, of 6-10 years of age.

Elegant red and dark berry aromas, the Pinot Noir visible in flavours of svelte raspberry. Bitter chocolate and crushed black pepper on the palate, framed by supple supporting tannins, where the Trousseau is felt. 17 months in barrels.
