Presentation
Located in the heart of Côte de Nuits, Domaine Delin Legou is a family estate that perpetuates know-how passed down through generations. Its vineyard extends over prestigious terroirs where Pinot Noir expresses all its subtlety and complexity. Working in sustainable viticulture, the estate emphasizes respecting the natural balance of its limestone and marl soils. Harvesting is exclusively manual, allowing for meticulous selection of perfectly ripe grapes. In the cellar, vinifications are conducted with precision, favoring gentle extractions and long fermentations in open tanks. Aging in fine oak barrels brings elegance and remarkable depth to the wines. The estate's reds stand out for their aromas of ripe red fruits, undergrowth, and licorice, with silky structure and exceptional aging potential.
