Morey Saint Denis 2019 - Domaine Michel Noellat

wine description

Born from Pinot Noir grapes grown and grown in the parcel owned by 1 ha with vines average age of 10 years in the municipality of Morey Saint Denis. The vinification involves a manual harvesting and complete destemming. A cold pre-fermentation period follows between 3 and 5 days which anticipates the actual fermentation which lasts about 15-20 days where daily replacements are made.

Garnet red wine, to the nose we find the hints of menthol, cocoa bean and in the mouth it has a good balance, and invites to drink.

Climate

After a particularly short winter, the months of February and March are almost spring, dry, with even a record of heat for the season on February 27, favoring the awakening and early development of the vines. On April 5th there is a first morning frost followed by four others until May 7th. Winegrowers run for cover by lighting fires to protect the vines. The summer of 2019 is one of the hottest known with two heat waves: one in late June and the other in late July. In some places it will exceed 40 ° C. Fortunately, the month of August brings rains that allow nature to regenerate. The climate is cool at the beginning of September to warm up as the harvest approaches, which begins in the middle of the month.
