Frédéric Magnien Les Ruchots Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2018

In the south of the village at the border with Chambolle, ‘Ruchots’ sits just under grand cru monopole Clos de Tart and grand cru Bonnes Mares. The vineyard’s location in a small valley means cooler winds from the north form a special microclimate, allowing a slower, longer ripening. Soils are thin and iron-rich; subsoils are pure “mother rock” limestone. Hand-harvested. Partially destemmed; fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks on indigenous yeasts. Aged 27% in clay jars, 54% in older French oak barrels and 19% in terracotta amphorae. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
