"Sourced from old massal selection Pinot Noir planted in 1973, the 2019 Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Les Epinettes hails from one of Renoir’s oldest Pinot Noir sites, where the soil consists of 1.2 meters of clay before the roots reach chalk. Demonstrative yet racy, it soars from the glass with notes of crisp read apple, spices and tangerine zest. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly muscular and concentrated, with a generous core of fruit balanced by refreshing, racy acidity and a distinct vein of minerality, it concludes with a long, precise finish. This parcel is located just 300 meters from Les Montants."
