This is one of only three Bourgogne Pinot Noirs that can attach the vineyard name to its label. It has now been given the go ahead to be re-classified to the appellation of Marsannay. However, Alban very kindly continues to declassify this wine especially for us. What a lovely man!

Domaine Machard de Gramont

This 20 hectare family estate is managed by Arnaud Machard de Gramont and his two sons Alban and Alexis. The cellars are located in Prissey, a neighbouring hamlet of Nuits-St-Georges. These cellars were built in the XIXth century. Their superb vaults give a "cathedral" effect to the winery. The 20 hectares of vineyards cover an impressive range of appellations spanning 50 kilometres, from Chenôve (south of Dijon) to Puligny-Montrachet (South of Beaune). This domaine is a great source of Burgundy at sensible prices. “Value for money” is not something that is often associated with the wines of the Core d’Or, however, we have dealt with this family domaine for many years for our commercial Burgundy n...
This is a wonderful Pinot Noir, very ripe, loaded with mulled black fruits, liquorice, cherry smoky spice. It has an open structure and a lovely sophisticated quality to both tannins and acidity. It is robust, yet elegant with a very long finish.
Handpicked, crushed and fermented in tank before transfer to a mixture of 2-4 year old Hungarian and French oak, some of them with American oak ends (unique - but in a good way!). Aged for 6-8 months before marrying back in tank prior to bottling.
