Domain converting to organic farming

Description

The domain

Located in Meloisey, in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, the Denis Carré family estate covers more than 13 hectares and produces a dozen appellations in the Côte de Beaune and Hautes Côtes de Beaune. Committed to organic farming techniques since 2008, the estate is in the process of obtaining Organic Agriculture certification.

Thanks to their passion for the terroir and their love of a job well done, Denis, Bernadette, Gaëtane and Martial Carré produce delicious, perfectly balanced wines of great elegance and finesse, which are regularly cited and rewarded by the specialised press, and acclaimed by professionals and wine lovers alike.

Terroir and breeding

Located in the commune of Saint-Romain on the "Le Jarron" climate, the vines that produce this Saint Romain de caractère grow on marl and limestone soil with a southern exposure. The average yield is 45hl/hectare. The vines are worked according to organic farming techniques. Vinification: 15 days in temperature-controlled vats, followed by 14 months in French oak barrels before bottling at the estate.

Tasting notes

Deep ruby colour. The intense nose with notes of ripe fruit and spices announces a wine of character. On the palate, red fruits mingle with a light woodiness. A beautiful round body, silky and well-balanced tannins underline a beautiful structure which offers a very good ageing potential. This excellent Saint Romain is best served with game, coq au vin or boeuf bourguignon, or simply with a cheese of character.
