Presentation
Located in Fixin, in Côte de Nuits, Domaine Du Clos Saint Louis is a family estate that exploits parcels on prestigious climates, benefiting from iron-rich limestone soils. Practicing sustainable viticulture, the estate relies on exclusively manual harvesting and traditional vinifications in open tanks to preserve the natural elegance of Pinot Noir. Aging in oak barrels, with a measured proportion of new wood, brings remarkable depth without masking the purity of the fruit. The reds from the estate offer a fine tannic structure, aromas of black cherry, undergrowth, and spices, with a silky palate and beautiful persistence. An essential reference for lovers of Fixin and great Burgundy wines tailored for aging.
