Domaine Jean Marc Boillot Beaune 1er Cru "Epenottes" 2021, 750ml

100% Pinot Noir from old vines in the Les Epenottes climat, a Premier Cru site in the southern part of Beaune with east/southeast exposure on clay-limestone soils. The domaine hand-harvests the grapes, which are fully destemmed. Vinification includes a cold pre-fermentation maceration followed by traditional fermentation with native yeasts. The wine is aged in French oak barrels with a proportion of new oak.

Tasting Note:

The 2021 opens with aromas of dark cherry, red plum, blackberry, damp earth, and subtle spice with floral undertones. The palate is medium to full-bodied with concentrated red and dark fruit, ripe yet firm tannins, vibrant acidity, good depth, and a long, earthy, mineral-driven finish. Structured, balanced, and built for ageing.
