Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022 David e Naïma Didon
The Bourgogne Pinot Noir from Domaine Didon is truly a masterpiece of Burgundy that deserves a prominent place on your oenophilic wishlist! Hailing from the 2022 harvest, this oenological gem embodies the passion and commitment of Domaine Didon, established in Bouzeron in 2017, boasting 2 hectares of owned vineyards and a biodynamic approach.
The grapes, exclusively of the Pinot Noir variety, are cultivated using organic and biodynamic farming practices, reflecting the vineyard's deep reverence for nature and the land. The 70-year-old vines thrive in clay-limestone soils at an altitude of 380 meters, with an eastward orientation contributing to the wine's complexity and elegance.
Vineyard management follows the Guyot system, with a planting density of 10,000 feet per hectare, ensuring controlled production and limited yields of 35 hl/ha. This allows the grapes to express themselves fully in terms of quality rather than quantity. Manual harvesting underscores the meticulous attention given to each cluster, ensuring precise grape selection.
The vinification of Bourgogne Pinot Noir from Domaine Didon is characterized by a delicate and fruit-respecting approach. Whole clusters are used, with short macerations aimed at extracting the best from the fruit while developing a soft and velvety tannic structure. Indigenous yeasts from the pied de cuve add an authentic dimension to the expression of the terroir.
Aging for 10 months in barrels contributes to the complexity and harmony of the wine. Delicate floral notes that manifest on the nose elegantly marry with aromas of red and black fruits, creating a refined olfactory experience. In the mouth, the purity of the fruit is accentuated by finely crafted tannins, offering a tasting of rare elegance.
With a aging potential of a decade, this Bourgogne Pinot Noir from Didon is an exceptional wine, but in very limited quantities.
