Gorgeous and affordable Red Burgundy from Quentin Jeannot Pinot Noir at its best!
The inevitable generational transition for a winemaking family is often a stressful time for both young and old. The old guard wonders what sort of half-baked ideas their kids will return with from Enology School — spending sleepless nights agonizing over the crazy notions their kids may collect during a year-long stage at a winery far from home.
On the other hand, the kids wonder if their parents will be open to the fresh, new ideas and techniques they learned during their travels and studies at the University. They’re keen on presenting the latest technological advances to their family and hope to bend the status-quo to their vision of the future.
In Burgundy, it’s a little different, and things change a lot more slowly, if at all. Burgundy and its terroir come first, and the new generation and old are united by their respect for the region’s culture and traditions. The latest and greatest technology may be present; however, it is blended seamlessly with the region’s time-honored traditions. Quite a few Burgundy families work their prized vineyards with only mules or horses, taking the harvest to their winery that is filled with gleaming stainless steel and computer-controlled equipment.
The heart of Burgundy
Domaine Jeannot
On the nose, you’re greeted with classic aromas of cherry, cranberry, and raspberry, along with hints of tea and earthy forest floor. There’s a beautiful balance of red fruit and minerality on the palate, with loads of perfumed black cherry leading to a very long and velvety finish, along with hints of oak spice framing the lively fruit.
In the glass, the first thing you’ll notice after the brilliant crimson color is the gorgeous purity of red fruit on the nose and palate. To maintain this purity, Quentin destems his entire harvest before vinification, ferments using native yeasts naturally present on the grapes, and manages tannin with a deft balance of new and used oak barrels.
