Terroir & Winemaking Reality
- The Distinct Monopole of Clos des Godeaux: *Clos des Godeaux* is an exclusive Drouhin monopole vineyard sitting on a steep, south-facing slope overlooking the village of Savigny-lès-Beaune. Located at a relatively high altitude on gravelly limestone soils, this site benefits from cool evening winds that preserve high-toned acidity, giving the Pinot Noir exceptional structural elegance, aromatic purity, and a firm mineral backbone.
- Delicate Maison Drouhin Craftsmanship: Hand-harvested and strictly sorted, the fruit is completely destemmed to emphasize pure fruit aromatics. Aged for 12 to 15 months in French oak barrels (around 15% to 20% new wood), Drouhin’s gentle winemaking beautifully balances the sunny generosity of the 2023 vintage with the site's natural high-altitude tension and chiseled limestone tannic frame.

Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Bright, translucent ruby-red core with energetic crimson highlights at the rim.
- Nose: Lifted, expressive, and floral. It opens with aromas of wild raspberries, red cherries, and red currants, accompanied by notes of lilac blossoms, subtle forest underbrush, and crushed chalky limestone.
- Palate: Dry, light-to-medium-bodied, and linear. The attack brings a crisp wave of red berry fruit that glides over fine-grained, chiseled tannins. Driven by vibrant limestone acidity, it finishes long, clean, and refreshing.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 14–16°C. A gentle chill highlights the bright red berry fruit and preserves its fresh floral aromatics.
- Decanting: A brief 20-to-30 minute decant is recommended to allow the mineral and fruit notes to harmonize. Enjoy now through 2031.
- Western Pairing: Roasted chicken, pan-seared pork tenderloin with herbs, veal cutlets, wild mushroom risottos, or mild soft cheeses.
- Asian Pairing: Peking duck wraps, Cantonese barbecued pork (Char Siu), soy sauce chicken, or steamed pork dumplings.
