Château Souaillon Le Bourguignon Grand Cru 2014 - Laurent de Coulon

The red clay-limestone soil on Château Souaillon is very similar to that of the Le Corton Grand Cru site. Château Souaillon is located on the same latitude, 47°2'N, as Aloxe-Corton, so our vines receive the same sum of light. This variety-specific requirement is a very decisive factor for the optimal development of the vines. The planted Pinot Noir clones 777 and 828 from the Côte d'Or are indisputably the best in their homeland. The dense planting of 10,000 canes per hectare and the very ground-level vine education was taken over by the best wineries in Burgundy. The extremely gentle vinification takes place in the same way as with the great models from the Côte d'Or. Bright ruby red, seductive bouquet of ripe wild strawberries and raspberries. The finish is long-lasting, accompanied by light, elegant tannins. Intense fruit aromas on the palate. Prestige wine is aged in pièces (228L wooden barrels from Burgundy), extreme finesse and a harmonious body.
