"The grapes for the 2018 Pinot Noir Sous La Tour come from a limestone-rich plot near the Tour de Curon. The grapes fermented with full clusters and indigenous yeasts in open oak vats, and the wine matured in 228-liter oak barrels for one year. It's livelier than the En Barberon, more complete with more ripeness but without excess, and it has a strong chalkiness that makes it beautifully textured."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
