History

He was a brilliant statesman, combative and restless defenderof great causes, devoting his life to serve his region, his city and the wines.

Vinification and maturing
The grapes were harvested mechanically, a great way to ensure a pre-fermentarymaceration period that will give a wine with brighter color and fresh fruity aromas. Afterthat 4-days period, the harvested plots were vini�ed separately with a long fermentationof at least 3 weeks. The tank fermentation process ended with a post-fermentarymaceration of 7 days at hot temperature to re�ne the tannins.Then, the wines were aged for 4 months on �ne lees for a quarter in oak barrrels and forthe 3 others in stainless steel tanks.

HERITAGE DU CONSEILLERPINOT NOIR
Full of history and with fine flavour, this wine pays tribute to the General Counsellor, a major figure of the family, who devoted his life to the renown of the noble grapes of his home region.
In his honour, the house is perpetuating the tradition of quality, elegance and prestige in selecting and making fine wines which marvellously express all the richness of the French terroirs.
