Fine, it's what you expect from a French co-operative.
Since 1957 the Nuiton-Beaunoy wine growers have been part of the Vignerons des Terres Secretes co-operative. The co-ops approach is focussed on sustainability; more equity in an economic, social and ecological environment that puts people at the heart of the system.
This Burgundian red wine has been made with 100% Pinot Noir grapes.
Sometimes tasting notes can seem so far-fetched you wonder whether the writer is actually taking you for a ride. If we were to say that the intense fragrance of this lovely Pinot Noir has the perfumed cedarwood spice that might best be reminiscent of the most expensive and exclusive eau de cologne, you might just baulk at the suggestion! But it's the kind of character that sets this fragrant Burgundy wine apart and makes it Pinot with personality.
It is certainly a wine for flashes of personal expression!
Deep puple in colour with a perfumed bouquet of small red fruits such as cherry and redcurrant, all undercut with cedarwood spice. It's lively, generous, appealing and crunchy in the mouth.
Burgundy (or Bourgogne in French) is small in size, the Côte d'Or has about 8000 hectares under vine, yet its influence is immense. It is home to some of the best known and most expensive wines in the world. Look in the right places and there is great quality and superb value to be found.
The two major grapes are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, though you can find small pockets of well-made Aligoté.
When made well, Pinot Noir shines. When young it has delicious aromas of cherries, raspberries, and strawberries.
As the wine ages, it will develop complexity and mystery. It has the capacity to become a gamey style of wine. It will show notes of autumn, truffles and mushrooms, especially when originating from the top vineyards of Burgundy.
