Saint Aubin Les Argilliers 2023
Domaine Lamy-PillotA real red Côte de Beaune. A lot of red and dark fruit in the scent together with notes of the wood storage, maybe even something of cocoa. Long friendly aftertaste with soft tannins and sufficient power.

About the winemaker
The Lamy-Pillot estate is a family estate, located on the outskirts of the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. The family has a total of about 20 hectares at its disposal, located in appellations such as Meursault, Saint Aubin, Chassagne and Santenay. Thus, the family can supply wines from 30 different appellations. Naturally, the red wines come from the noble Pinot Noir and the elegant mineralic white wines from the Chardonnay grape. The winemaking style is characterized by a dosed and supportive use of wood. The mineral notes of the beautiful terroir are not buried under massive use of wood and the fruit comes out beautifully in all cuvées.

Details
| Vineyard | The Les Argilliers vineyard is located in the village of Saint Aubin, just above the much more famous Chassagne-Montrachet. This vineyard was planted between 1968 and 1972 and is 40 acres in size. This allows for an annual production of up to 2,200 bottles. The soil consists of marl-rich limestone and is very permeable. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | At Lamy-Pillot, a classic red winemaking process is used where malolactic fermentation takes place on wooden casks. Of these, 25% are new and all are French oak. The ageing varies by vineyard from 12 to 18 months. |
