Hangtime wines demonstrate the superior quality of Pinot Noir & Chardonnay from appellations where grapes spend long periods of “hangtime” ripening on the vine. A long hangtime in the vineyards contributes to concentrated flavor. Winemaking that focuses on the flavors of the grapes allows us to deliver delicious wines that express the appellation of origin.
Appellation-AOC*
Burgundy is a historic region of east central France. The region’s core is the fertile Rhone and Saone river valleys, where routes from Paris and the Rhineland to the Mediterranean converge. One varietal that thrives in the volatile and constantly changing vineyards of Burgundy is Pinot Noir. Winemakers with a love for the Burgundy region know how to work with the diversity and promise the land offers to bring wine lovers a wine they can count on.
2006 Growing Season
By all accounts Mother Nature was smiling on Burgundy throughout the 2006 growing season. Generally speaking, the growers were able to harvest grapes at their leisure, due to the warm, dry conditions throughout the region. Burgundy wines from the 2006 vintage will show rich, intense flavors of red and black fruits, flowers and minerals; true terroir expressions.
