Joseph De Maistre Menetou-Salon "Louise" red 2023

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

GRAPE VARIETY AND TERROIR:
100% Pinot Noir
Clay-limestone, Kimmeridgian marls.

VINEYARD:
Located in the villages of Morogues, Humbligny, and Saint Céols, our 13 hectares of parcels are planted with 2/3 in Sauvignon and 1/3 in Pinot Noir. 
The inter-row remains grassed during the vine's resting phase and is fully tilled when vegetation resumes, in order to limit fertilizer input and promote soil aeration. No chemical herbicides have been used on the domaine for 15 years.

VINIFICATION:
Cold maceration (8°C) for 8 days.
Maceration and alcoholic fermentation for 10 to 15 days in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks, gentle extraction.
Malolactic fermentation and aging in amphora for 12 months.
Unfiltered wine.

TASTING:

Eye: Mahogany red color, brick reflections
Nose:  The first nose is discreet, marked by a powdery profile. After aeration, the wine reveals aromas of red fruits, notably currant, mixed with floral notes of peony. The background reveals brioche nuances combined with cherry liqueur and kirsch scents.
Mouth:  The attack is round and supple. The notes of red fruits detected in the nose reappear, with a hint of freshness mid-palate. The finish is slightly textured, with a lingering bitterness, accompanied by aromas of plum and raisins.

Number of years of conservation: 5 years

To be enjoyed with: Red meats or game.

Alcohol: 13.0% Vol.
