Description
The Chorey-lès-Beaune by Labouré-Roi is a Pinot Noir that comes from a designation located between Savigny-lès-Beaune and Aloxe-Corton, in the Côte de Beaune. The vineyards, which extend over 130 hectares on the plain, are situated on alluvial limestone soils with gravel, iron, and sand, at an altitude of 250 meters with south-west exposure.
The Pinot Noir grapes are hand-picked and selected. After destemming, followed by a cold maceration for three days at 8°C, there is a ten-day fermentation in steel tanks with daily punch-downs and pump-overs. The wine ages for 15 months in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new, followed by a gentle filtration before bottling.
In appearance, it is bright ruby red. The nose presents intense aromas of red and black fruits, enriched by elegant toasted notes. On the palate, it is fruity and harmonious, with well-integrated wood notes that enhance the character of Pinot Noir and provide a pleasant aromatic richness.
It pairs perfectly with roasted or marinated poultry, grilled beef, fine cold cuts, savory pies, or French cheeses like Camembert and Brie.
