Henri Germain Bourgogne Cote-D'Or Rouge

Henri Germain is a respected name in Meursault, known for precise, thoughtful winemaking. While the domaine is celebrated for its whites, this Bourgogne Côte-d’Or Rouge showcases their skill with Pinot Noir. The fruit is sourced from carefully tended vineyards around Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet, areas where limestone-rich soils bring structure and energy to the wine. In the cellar, winemaking is a traditional process, employing gentle extraction to preserve fragrance and finesse. The wine is aged in oak barrels, a small proportion of which are new, adding depth without overshadowing the fruit. Each vintage offers pure, red-fruited aromas, with notes of cherry, cranberry and subtle spice. The palate is supple and finely balanced, with a core of bright, fresh fruit supported by fine tannins and a savoury edge. This is a true expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir, offering a glimpse of the domaine’s style at an accessible level.
