The domain
Located in Meloisey, on the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, the Denis Carré family estate covers more than 12 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 has obtained its Organic Farming certification.
Thanks to their deep-rooted 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 mentioned and awarded prizes by the specialist press and acclaimed by professionals and wine lovers alike.
Terroir and breeding
The ‘Les Tuvilains’ climat is located south of Beaune, near Pommard. The vines that produce this excellent 1er cru grow on brown limestone soil with alluvial deposits, facing south-east. The yield is 45hl/hectare. The vines are cultivated using organic farming techniques. Vinification: 17 days in temperature-controlled vats, followed by 16 to 20 months' ageing in French oak barrels and then bottling at the estate.
Tasting notes
The colour is purple, with beautiful depth. The nose is distinguished by a beautiful balance of red fruits, including raspberries, cherries and redcurrants. The palate reveals a well-structured, elegant body with notes of fruit mixed with slightly toasted oak, all combined with a beautiful persistence that gives this excellent Beaune 1er cru promising ageing potential.
This characterful Premier Cru will accompany characterful dishes, game, roasts and braised meats, or strong-flavoured cheeses such as Munster or Epoisses.
