Closerie du Pelan Francs Cotes de Bordeaux Rouge 2008 Size:750ml decades-old Viennese-oak casks after fermenting

decades-old Viennese-oak casks after fermenting spontaneously in the same vessel type

the place where the Côte de Nuits merges with the Côte de Beaune

yet both express the powerfully stony essence of the Carso in their own delicious way

with the balance comprising Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc

No sulphur is added at any stage until a minimal dose at bottling
