Producer

Domaine des Moirots is a family property situated in the village of Bissey-sur-Cruchaud that has been producing wine on about 30 acres of south facing vineyards in the Cote Chalonnaise, the region just to the south of the Cote de Beaune, since 1978. Christophe Denizot handles the operation and produces Chardonnay and Pinot Noir based wines from his carefully tended vineyards using traditional Burgundian methods allied to modern winemaking techniques to produce fine wines from the healthiest vines. The granite and limestone soils and climate here lends itself to the production of wines of firm acidity and supple minerality.
Tasting Notes
A deeply coloured and unusually intense Pinot Noir from a tiny plot in the Chalonnais, south of Burgundy. There are flavours of blackberry, cherry and autumnal fruits mingled with grilled meats, mineral and leather. Well structured with the medium body supported by subtle tannins and fresh acidity.
Food
A good match for roasted meats, chicken or game bird casseroles and mature cheeses.
