Origin
Beaune is the winegrowing capital of the region and has played an important role in Burgundian history. Profits from the annual “Hospices de Beaune” wine auction continue to provide support to hospice residents.
The vineyards of Beaune are unique in that out of approximately 400 ha of vines under production, over 300 ha are classified as Premier Cru.
“Les Pertuisots” is located in the southern part of the appellation just near the famous “Clos des Mouches”. In Old French, pertuisot was a Burgundian diminutive form of pertuis meaning “a hole, an opening, a hollow”.
Vinification and maturing
Vintage : 2020
The public health crisis has certainly marked this year’s harvest, which nonetheless has been able to go ahead!
Despite the year’s record temperatures and lack of rainfall, there has been no lack of quality, although yields are down, with an especially mixed picture with regard to reds. However, these have generally been very well-balanced.
Overall, we have seen nice levels of acidity, promising good aging potential.
