Domaine Decelle et Fils - Beaune 1er Cru Clos du Roi 2022
Domaine Decelle & Fils is located in Corgoloin, on the border between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy . The estate was founded in 2008 by Olivier Decelle , with his experience in Roussillon, Bordeaux and the Rhône. Its 8 hectare Burgundian vineyard is spread over several appellations such as Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Savigny-Lès-Beaune, Beaune Premier Cru, Chorey-Lès-Beaune and Côte-de-Nuits-Village. The vines are divided into 15 plots and certified in organic farming since 2010. All these vines have in common more or less clayey soils with limestone bedrock. The differences in terroirs relate to very fine variations in altitude, exposure, density and thickness of soil, slope or nature of soil.
The Beaune Premier Cru Clos du Roi is made from Pinot Noir whose vine age is around 50 years. The grapes are harvested manually and sorted on the table. Fermentation begins spontaneously with native yeasts and vatting lasts around 20 days. The wine is aged for 18 months in barrels , less than 30% of which are new.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
