Cuvée "AUGUSTE" Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2019

Xmas day 2022. Opened for grandma. Perfumed nose w rose petals, sweet berries, orange rind.

100% Pinot Fin, extremely rare massale selection from 1964. From the walled vineyard (Clos) of six hectares, 2 ha of this comprises the Pinot Noir for the Cuvée Auguste. It is blessed with a hard limestone soil with pearl slabs called aragonitic limestone. Yield is a scant 20 hl/ha. Semi-carbonic whole-cluster fermentation with cold pre-fermentation, natural yeasts, no SO2, no chaptalisation or enzymes. Matured in barrels, no racking. Assembled in a large vat 40 days before bottling. Bottled using nitrogen, no filtration.
“Bursting with aromas of peonies, orange rind, sweet berries, plums and rose petals, the 2019 Bourgogne Rouge Cuvée Auguste is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with lively acids and a perfumed core of fruit that's framed by melting tannins. While this cuvée sometimes behaves erratically in the cellar, Guillot assures me that more attention to detail when racking and the use of a new, in-house bottling line will help to improve consistency. Today, this is certainly a beautiful wine, the most delicious Cuvée Auguste I've tasted.” William Kelley, WA 91

Les Pierres Bleues Beaujolais-Villages Gamay 2015

Pleasing expression, with a forward bouquet of violets, crushed rose, orange peel, red cherry, and raspberry, following through to a medium palate of red fruit and salinity, with a touch of orange rind. Serve slightly chilled and it’s perfect with a leg of lamb or hanger steak — 7 years ago
