Santenay En Boichot (red)

Annual production 3000 bottles
Grape Variety Pinot Noir
Soil clay-limestone
Situation climat located near the center of the village, at the bottom of the slope, just under the 1er Cru “Passetemps”. It’s also the name of the water stream flowing through the vineyard. It’s where the name comes from, since the stream’s source is located in a small wood nearby (the word “Boichot” has its roots in the word “Bois” (wood)).

The grapes are hand-picked and 100% destemmed after sorting. Cold pre-fermentation maceration (12° C) for 5 days. Fermentation in temperature-controlled vat with punching of the cap at the beginning. Warm post fermentation maceration before the wine is put in barrels.

Ageing 18 months in oak barrels, approximately 30% new oak.

Color Deep ruby red colour
