Petit-Roy Bourgogne Rouge 'De Sousa' 2020

Pinot Noir from 70 year old vines in Chorey-lès-Beaune. Here the soil is more clay with some limestone. Whole bunch maceration, raised in old barrels for one year and then settled in tank for two months before bottling. Not fined or filtered, with only a small amount of sulfur added just before bottling.
Pretty perfume – roses, oriental spice, boysenberries and cherries. Light and lifted on the palate, while still keeping density. Fresh berry fruit and grainy tannins. This is light and fragrant – but still quite detailed. Highlighted fruit, brightness and silky smooth. So lifted!
