CAMUS-BRUCHON SLB PIMENTIERS VV 2021

Domaine Camus-Bruchon is a family-owned winery located in Savigny-les-Beaune, a village in Burgundy known for its excellent Pinot Noirs. The winery is particularly skilled at cultivating old vines, and many of their wines are crafted from vines planted just before and after World War I. Guillaume Camus, the current owner, is considered one of the most talented winemakers in the region. Savigny-les-Beaune Les Pimentiers Vieilles Vignes is a Pinot Noir made from grapes grown in the “Les Pimentiers” vineyard, planted in 1929. The soil in this vineyard is clay-limestone with some rocks on top of sand, which contributes to the mineral tones of the wine. The grapes are destemmed, undergo a cold maceration, and then ferment for 15-20 days. The wine is aged for 12-15 months in 30% new French oak barrels. This results in a darker and more concentrated wine than other wines from this producer, with deep dark cherry and earthy flavors. Despite its richness, the wine maintains a refreshing finish.
