The only variety of Burgundy red wines: the delicate Pinot Noir.
Terroir
The roots of our old Chorey-les-Beaune-vines reach deep down into an alluvial marly limestone soil on a stony, slightly ferruginous ground, descended from the Côte de Savigny and Aloxe over thousands of years.
Origine du nom
The name Chorey is derived from the Latin Canus, “Chariot”. The village is situated on the great Roman road from Autun to Besançon where many horses and two- and four-wheeled carts passed during Antiquity.
Vinification
We aim to obtain fruity wines, rich in blended tannins, signature of well ripened grapes. We bring in the grapes in small crates for careful sorting in the winery. The fermentation lasts 15 days with pigeages, punching down of the cap, allowing the wine to soak up the richness and the colour from the grape-skins before pressing.. Racking by the means of a bellow eliminates the need for a pump. All these precautions limit handling of the wine, thus preserving all the richness. Ageing takes place in barrels of which 20 % are new during 15 months.
Notes de dégustation
The nose is dominated by red fruit (raspberry, Morello cherry). It possesses roundness behind a solid structure, delicate, enhanced by a framework of fine tannins.
Accords mets & vins
Served at 14°C this wine is a versatile Burgundy you can open as an aperitif, alone or with tapas. The Chorey enhances a Carpaccio of beef, a meat risotto, a succulent pot-au-feu, pan-roasted Girolles (mushrooms) or grilled white meat.
