Tasting notes
This pretty Pinot Noir has a ruby-red color and an intoxicating bouquet of cherry, raspberry & blackcurrant with a velvet mouth and spicy accents. Such a delight, it can also be served slightly chilled. Produced from vines with an average age of 25 years old and aged in older oak barrels to add texture and complexity. It will be delicious with cold meats, meats, cheeses or desserts.
Vineyard
Overlooking the Auxois area, on the border of the Morvan, in the village of Villaines-les-Prévôtes, our vines are favorably exposed to the South-South-East, planted in lyres (V-shape) and exclusively harvested by hand.
Estate
Founded in 1840, Maison Simonnet-Febvre is a traditional Chablis winery and amongst the oldest in the area. Nowadays Simonnet-Febvre produces a wide range of wines expressing the different terroirs of the Chablis and Grand Auxerrois vineyards. The estate’s style is asserted with the same conviction throughout the whole range of wines, from the famous Saint-Bris to their outstanding Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos.
They also carry out the historical legacy of being the only winery in Chablis to produce a range of Crémants de Bourgogne. Owning 15 hectares of vineyards in the Auxois area which is halfway between Chablis and Beaune. Bought by Maison Louis Latour in 2003, the estate is led by Paul Espitalié who managed to inspire a new dynamic while keeping its independence by running it as a separate enterprise with its own house style.
