2023 Domaine Maurice Charleux & Fils, Bourgogne Rouge

Domaine Maurice Charleux & Fils, rooted in Dezize-les-Maranges, cultivates their Pinot Noir using lutte raisonnée, emphasizing vineyard health and minimal intervention. Their Bourgogne Rouge derives from old vines grown on clay-limestone soils near the Maranges appellation, undergoing fermentation with indigenous yeasts in cement tanks or foudres, deliberately avoiding new oak to allow pure terroir expression. This is a bright and sunny expression of Pinot Noir, bursting with red fruits and silky tannin.
