Powerful and complex, our Simone 2020 is a deep ruby color with hints of violet. The nose is bursting with energy, distilling a captivating aromatic bouquet of black fruits and roasted notes. The palate is fleshy, fresh and vibrant. The tight tannic structure is velvety, with a long mineral finish. This special cuvée will express the same energy for the next 35 years.
Born from vines situated at the highest point of our Clos Marey-Monge, Simone embodies the soul of our domaine. Planted in 1986 on soils with one of the greatest surface densities of clay in Burgundy, this Pinot Noir is highly delicate and intense. Our rarest cuvée is rich, complex and extremely memorable.
