Our DATUS was literally "gifted" to us by fate. What began as a nocturnal accident turned out to be one of the greatest strokes of luck in the history of our winery. It was around two in the morning and we were processing our best Pinot Noir. That's when it happened: the v-belt of the de-stemmer broke. A panic broke out, and we were close to despair. That's when we plucked up courage: if fate had its way, we would trust in it. We made the courageous decision to cellar the noble grapes together with the stems.

An extremely multifaceted and balanced Pinot Noir, which shines in a rich ripe red. The intense aging in wood gives DATUS its velvety, spicy-peppery wood notes. Its depth and complexity and the aroma of ripe red fruits make the DATUS a very special pleasure experience, of which only 650 bottles are available.

GROWING AREA
The best conditions for the ripening of Pinot Noir grapes are found on the steep slopes in the commune of Montan, in the southwest-facing sunny area of the Glen fraction. At an altitude of 600 meters above sea level, the gravelly clay soil provides the ideal conditions for the vines, grown on wireframes, to thrive.

HARVEST
The grapes for this Pinot Noir were harvested on September 22, 2018. The outcome was 650 numbered bottles.

VINIFICATION
Fermentation with the stems. Aging in new barrique casks.
