Bourgogne Pinot Noir « Altis »

Terroir

This Bourgogne Pinot Noir comes from one of our plots planted with high vines grown in widely spaced rows, located in the town of Saint-Sernin-du-Plain. Replanted in 2018, it enjoys a privileged location on a south/south-east-facing slope. The soil, composed of clay, limestone and versicoloured marl, gives this Pinot Noir a beautiful freshness and natural elegance.

Why ‘Altis’? The name ‘Altis’ originates from the Latin word altus, which means ‘high’, a shout-out to our high vine plants. This is not simply a method of planting or growing vines: these high vines embody a thoughtful and sustainable choice for the viticulture of tomorrow.

Perched on the hillsides, these plants benefit from several natural assets: their height and associated air circulation offer natural protection against certain diseases, and mitigate damage during late frost episodes, thus limiting treatments and interventions while promoting a more respectful approach to our environment.

‘Altis’ is, therefore, a tribute to these high vines and the careful work involved in creating beautiful full-bodied wines while preserving our terroirs.
