BOURGOGNE PINOT NOIR "ORIGINES"  MAISON ALBERT BICHOT  PRESENTATION  LOCATION  Bourgogne  VARIETAL  Pinot Noir  TERROIR  Calcareous clay soil  Burgundy has historically been one of the oldest terroirs of reference for  Pinot Noir wines.   Our ‘Origines’ cuvée is crafted from grapes hailing from a mosaic of plots  that overlie calcareous clay soil, with varying exposure and altitude. The  diversity of these terroirs along with careful vinification and ageing allow  the Pinot Noir grape to produce an aromatic, fleshy, refined wine.  VINIFICATION/AGEING  Fermenting maceration in thermoregulated stainless steel vats for 18 to  20 days.  Aging: 80% in stainless steel vats and 20% in oak barrels for 10 to 12  months.  TASTING  Fresh, fine nose featuring notes of black and red fruit (raspberry,  blackcurrant...). Fresh and fruity on the palate, this fleshy, supple wine is  well balanced and boasts a pleasing fruity finish.  SERVING  Serve at 14-15°C (57-59°F).  To taste young on the fruit or to keep 3 to 4 years.  FOOD PAIRINGS  Roasted or braised red and white meats  Medium cheeses  QUOTES  Wine Spectator: 89/100 (2019)  Wine Spectator: 87/100 (2018)
