The soils in the Burgundy region, where Domaine Courcel is located, are known for their limestone and clay mixture, ideal for growing Pinot Noir. These soils offer excellent drainage and encourage deep root development, giving the vines access to essential minerals. The calcareous soils contribute to the minerality and elegance of the wines, while the clay content retains moisture and ensures consistent water availability for the vines. These unique soil conditions are crucial for the complex and structured wines of Domaine Courcel.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most noble and demanding grape varieties, renowned for its elegance and complexity. Originally from Burgundy in France, it is now cultivated in many wine regions. Pinot Noir wines are characterized by their delicate aromas of red berries, cherries, and often earthy notes. They have medium acidity and soft tannins that provide a silky texture.
