Santenay AOC 1er Cru Clos Tavannes 2022 La Pousse d'Or

The Santenay 1er Cru Clos de Tavannes from Domaine de la Pousse d'Or comes from an exclusive vineyard in Santenay, surrounded by an ancient stone wall on three sides and oriented towards the east. The five acres of vineyards benefit from compact limestone soil with the presence of marl, ideal for the cultivation of Pinot Noir. The domaine's approach to organic farming ensures environmentally friendly production and wines with considerable aging potential.

The manual harvesting and destemming of the grapes, together with an extremely delicate and natural vinification, are reflected in the quality of the wine. The fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts and the refinement in French oak barrels, of which only 20% are new, for 18 months, allows a balanced and subtle evolution of the wine, with minimal use of sulphites and bottling without clarification or filtration .

It presents itself to the eye as an intense purple colour. The nose is broad and expressive, dominated by aromas of black berries and light toasted notes. In the mouth it stands out for its finesse and balance, culminating in a rich and mature finish that reflects the complexity and elegance of the terroir.

This wine pairs perfectly with intensely flavored first courses, red and white meats and game, enhancing and complementing the richness and variety of flavors of the food.
