Not your everyday Pinot Noir! The 2024 Cadole du Chapitre Bourgogne Pinot Noir walks the fine line between delicacy and quiet intensity, proving that subtlety can still make a statement. Bright red cherry and wild strawberry lead the way, edged with cranberry tang and a whisper of rose petal. There’s a gentle earthiness beneath — forest floor after rain, a touch of spice, and a hint of crushed herbs. Silky tannins glide across the palate, supported by lively acidity that keeps everything lifted and precise. Supple yet structured, it hums with energy rather than shouting for attention.

As with many great Burgundian stories, Cadole du Chapitre is anchored in place and patience. Carefully tended vines rooted in limestone soils, thoughtful extraction, and measured élevage all play their part. The aim is clarity over weight, expression over embellishment — letting vineyard and vintage speak with authenticity.

The 2024 Pinot Noir reflects a commitment to purity and finesse. Crafted with restraint and respect for tradition, it captures the nuance, perfume, and quiet confidence that define classic Burgundy — a transparent lens on land, season, and the vigneron’s touch.

FROM THE WINEMAKER

Hand harvesting and subsequent foot crushing in the vineyard continues to be one of our favourite techniques. This ‘controlled skin contact’ happens before your eyes in the picking bins. It requires the fruit to be in near perfect condition as there is nowhere to hide, without the use of sulphur or other preservatives at this stage. The juice will undoubtedly brown due to all of the exposure to air, but during this phase there is a real build-up of phenolics, all the good flavour and tannin molecules. After around 6 hours the fruit was “whole bunch pressed” to tank and then rough racked after about 12 hours. The juice was allowed to start a natural ferment in tank before being transferred to a combination of 22HL Slavonian Oak foudre, and old barriques. The wine underwent elevage on full lees in oak for around eleven months prior to racking and going to bottle without fining or filtration.

FOOD PAIRING

Thai fish cakes would go down a treat with this Riesling. Go as hot and spicy as you like, the hotter the dish, the sweeter the wine!
