"Champs Pimont" 2020 BEAUNE 1ER CRU

The Beaune 1er Cru "Champs Pimont" from the Domaine du Lycée Viticole is made from 2 plots, which extend over a total area of ​​0.53ha. Located south of the Beaune appellation, this plot takes its name from its topography: located on a hillside, its old name was "Les Champs au Pied du Mont". Facing due east, the 2 plots are located on clay-limestone soil, stony on the surface.

The vinification is carried out in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. Cold pre-fermentation maceration and alcoholic fermentation are carried out for a period of 15 days; there follows a hot post-fermentation maceration of about ten days. The wine is then aged for 9 months in barrels before bottling.

The Domaine Beaune 1er Cru "Champs Pimont" has a ruby ​​red color. On the nose, we feel a very intoxicating floral side (dried rose), accompanied by a nose of fresh red berries. The mouth is very airy: we feel a finesse of the aromas typical of this Beaune climate. The balance and length in the mouth is supported by a note of roasted coffee.

This wine, already extremely fine and digestible today, will deliver over time (between 10 to 15 years) a more complex aroma, typical of the aging aromas of great Pinots. It will be tasted wonderfully with poultry in sauce or grilled meats.
