Description
WINEMAKER: Valentin Montanet
VARIETAL: Pinot Noir
REGION: Burgundy, FR
VITICULTURE: Certified Organic
"This red is from Catherine’s Montanet-Thoden vineyards and is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. This red Burgundy is a very good example of a red wine from the Vézelay region. The end result is influenced by the fossilised limestone soils that are found here – giving the wines a lively minerality. Remember that this vineyard is just to the south of Chablis and shares some of the famous limestone from that region.
The grapes for this wine are hand picked from the small plots of vines, destemmed, fermented with native yeasts and matured for 10 months in old oak barrels. Little sulphur is added to the bottle to maintain the freshness of the wine. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration. And, by the way, the wine is named after a blue flower that is found within the vineyard. The flower has red roots from which the colour used to be extracted to make a dye. This was used in World War 1 to make red trousers for French soldiers." - Living Wines

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
