Bourgogne En Gerlieus Cassiopée 2020

The wine

The en Gerlius climat nestles in the nearby commune of Chassey le Camp, along an ideally north-east-facing slope. The Pinot Noir vines are surrounded by a forest on one side and a few elder trees and beehives on the other. The vines average 50 years and produce low yields, resulting in deep, concentrated red wines. At the same time, the estate follows healthy viticulture practices, respecting the principles of organic farming. After the harvest, the Pinot Noir grapes are vinified with a small proportion of whole bunches. The cuvée is aged for a long period before bottling.
The bright, luminous ruby colour reveals a generous bouquet bursting with intense red fruits including strawberry and cherry. The expressive, structured palate reveals firm and delicate tannins leading to a concentrated and lingering finish.
