Fougeray de Beauclair
Cotes de Nuits-Villages 2012
Burgundy, France

An exceptional “Villages” Pinot harvested from a small 1.17ha plot surrounded by a number of prestigious vineyards. 

The vines are over 33 years old (planted 1968) in the northern part of Cote de Nuits surrounded by prestigious vineyards: "Clos de la Perrière".  It is a Fixin "Premier Cru" to the West, the Fixin appellation to the East and the start of the "Gevrey-Chambertin" slopes to the South.  It is a good company indeed.

Varietal:  Pinot Noir

Aroma: Has a captivating cherry, black fruits and spice aroma.

Palate: The medium weight palate has excellent volume revealing layers of complexity, red and black fruits backed by bright fresh acidity and savoury notes that dance on the palate. It has a very long clean finish. It is a brilliant food wine.
