The harvest is brought in at the ideal ripeness of the grapes and is carried out entirely mechanically. The Pinot Noir grapes arrive in crates at Saint Seine, where they are sorted on sorting tables. Only the finest bunches make it into the bottle, and this is clearly evident in the rich aroma and smooth flavor of this red wine. After pressing, some of this wine is aged in oak for three to four months to give it more body. Well, it's a success, and the result is a beautiful red wine.
The aroma is wonderfully aromatic with notes of black cherries, ripe blackberries, and stewed plums. These are interspersed with a hint of vanilla and some spicy notes. The palate is wonderfully full and rich. The spicy notes are beautifully prominent, creating a perfect interplay with hints of black fruit, chocolate, and some light spice. The finish with a touch of vanilla and the long aftertaste complete this red wine. What a superb Saint Seine!
