Presentation
It is in the Côte d’Or, at the heart of winegrowing Burgundy, that the region's most prestigious wines are produced. In order to bring these exceptional terroirs into the spotlight, the additional geographical denomination "Côte d’Or" was created in 2017.
The Bourgogne Côte d’Or wines have stricter production regulations than the Bourgogne wines (lower yields, same density of planting as for village wines, vineyards located exclusively in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits).
Our Bourgogne Côte d'Or Pinot Noir "Clos Frantin" is, as its name would suggest, a clos (walled vineyard) but also a monopole located at the heart of our Domaine du Clos Frantin estate in Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Tasting
Elegant nose with scents of red and black berries (blackcurrant, raspberry...). Velvety and delectable on the palate, this wine's balance is owed to its soft tannic structure. Its delicately fragrant finish is extremely flattering.
