The soils in the region are of great importance to the quality of their wines. Especially in prestigious locations like Richebourg and Clos de Vougeot, limestone-clay soils define the terroir. These unique soil structures create optimal conditions for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The deep roots of the vines absorb the mineral qualities of the soil, imparting a characteristic complexity and terroir expression to the wines. Therefore, the soils are an essential component contributing to the exceptional quality of Michel Noëllat wines.
Pinot Noir, also known as Spätburgunder, is a noble red wine grape variety renowned for its elegance and refinement. Originally from Burgundy, Pinot Noir has gained global significance. The grape produces wines with a characteristic lighter color and offers aromas of red berries, cherries, and occasional earthy nuances. Whether in France, Germany, or New Zealand, Pinot Noir delights wine enthusiasts with its fine structure, gentle tannins, and the ability to subtly reflect terroir.
