Philippe le Hardi, Bourgogne Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes

Bright ruby in colour. This Pinot Noir is brimming with red cherry and raspberry fruit married with subtle hints of spice and violet. Velvety tannins coat the palate and a lively acidity carries the flavours onto the juicy finish. Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi (formerly Château de Santenay) was once the stately home of the first Duke of Burgundy, Philippe le Hardi. By embracing minimal new oak, and gentler extraction, today the wines of Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi offer supple, characterful expressions of their well-respected sites. This Pinot Noir blends fruit from Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi vineyards with fruit sourced from a trusted network of growers. The fruit comes predominantly from the Santenay and Hautes Côtes de Beaune areas.
