Clos Marey-Monge Micault 2020

-
A pure expression of a minimally oaked Pinot Noir, our Micault 2020 displays a deep ruby color. This refreshing and elegant wine features aromas of red fruits, such as redcurrant and cherry, with a hint of spice. On the palate, the tannins are ethereal and lacy. Micault 2020 explodes in the mouth with its jubilant, juicy Morello cherry profile. Enjoyable today, this Pommard will evolve gracefully over the next 10 years.

Originally planted as an English garden, this 1.29-hectare parcel situated at the foot of Château Micault was eventually transformed into a vineyard. Its vines grow on fine alluvial formations from the Avant-Dheune river and create a fruity Pinot Noir that is enjoyable young.
