Lot

1432

Grape Variety

Pinot Noir

Producer

Domaine Billard Pere et Fils

A concentrated wine with structure and a firm acidity, Les Castets 2018 will benefit from some time in bottle. Less overtly perfumed than the 2017, it is vibrant in colour with aromas of cherries and red apples. The small 0.33-hectare vineyard, with vines planted in the 1960s, lies to the west of the village with a prime exposition facing south-south-east. It was matured in Vosges oak barrels for nine months with 20% new.
