- TASTING NOTE: "From a very small harvest with small berries and flavourful exotic wines. This is from 1 plot that is a west-facing slope so it gets the long and warm afternoon sunshine. When I tasted this from barrel, I thought, if I tasted this blind I would surely pick it as a villages level. The slope is limestone at the bottom and marl (limestone and clay rocks) at the top, so there is a mineral and gently firm structure that carries the red berry fruit, Asian spice mix and fleshy richness of this red." Heart & Soil
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: David Moreau is a very thoughtful, intelligent, careful, incredibly hard-working and excitable vigneron. His apprenticeship credentials, at DRC, Beaucastel, and H. Lamy would make most blush - yet he remains humble, focused on his old vines and cellar. He says that he doesn’t have a fancy car or house, but he has the well sited old vines, plus the best barrels and equipment that money can buy. He uses only sustainable viticulture practices and only perfectly ripe and healthy pinot berries. He uses very little manipulation, soft but effective foot plunging and pump-overs; a little new oak, obsessive topping to keep the wines fresh and clean, little racking to keep the wines on their lees as long as possible, and a very, very careful approach. He is not scared of good structure but wants to emphasize pure fruit and as much perfume as possible. His wines taste like they should come from much more famous sites! The wines of Santenay should be more famous in Australia, and like those of St. Aubin and Savigny-les-Beaune, some great Burgundian bargain buys still exist.
