Domaine Henri Delagrange et Fils Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Pinot Noir is a gourmet wine. Purple colour with lilac highlights. Opens with a morello cherry, raspberry and crushed strawberry nose that carries delicate hints of violet florals. The aromas follow through to a dry palate that exhibits round and silky tannins.
Ageing potential: 6 years from vintage.
100% Pinot Noir. The fruit comes from vines with an average age of 15 years that grow in the clay limestone, stony, and slightly ochre soils of old vineyards in Hautes-Côtes de Beaune.
Hand-picking and 100% destemming of the grapes. Fermentation for 15 days in open, temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats with very little punching down and some pumping over. The wine ages for 6–8 months with 30% in oak barrels and 60% in stainless steel vats.
