Retour à la liste

En quelques mots

In the 17th century, Hugues Bétault, Esquire and Secretary to the King of France, saved the Hôtel-Dieu from ruin when wars and epidemics broke out. He built an airy infirmary and acquired land that was transformed into gardens and a vegetable patch. After his death, his brother Louis in turn made several generous donations to the Hospices de Beaune.

Dégustation : This wine has a lovely purple hue. Its complex nose reveals aromas of wild red fruit, black fruit and Morello cherry. The palate is an elegant blend of gourmet red fruit notes and opulent tannins.
Accord Mets & Vins : Cured meat, Red meat and game

Description

In the 17th century, Hugues Bétault, Esquire and Secretary to the King of France, saved the Hôtel-Dieu from ruin when wars and epidemics broke out. He built an airy infirmary and acquired land that was transformed into gardens and a vegetable patch. After his death, his brother Louis in turn made several generous donations to the Hospices de Beaune. The Beaune 1er cru Grèves is the mainstay of this cuvée, supported by Les Aigrots and Le Clos de la Mignotte.

Vinification

FermentationThe grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small crates to prevent the bunches from settling. For our red wines, the grapes are taken to the winery, passed through a sorting table and destemmed before being loaded into the vinification tank. Immediately, we proceed to a so-called “pre-fermentation cold maceration” which, by cooling the tank to 10°C, optimizes the extraction of the natural aromas of the grapes and oxygenates the musts. We favor long vatting times with daily punching down for 8 to 10 days to facilitate the extraction of tannins and colors. Finally, the final maceration lasts 3 to 5 days during which the must macerates gently at a controlled temperature to gain finesse and aroma.
