Deep ruby red hue with purplish glimmers. The complex nose offers a combination of fruit, spice and floral notes. The lively palate displays exceptional tension, elegant tannins, a hint of white pepper and menthol notes. Les Ouvrées Rodin is an intense, deep, smooth, elegant and subtle wine and a perfect reflection the character of its historical terroir.
Coming from a “Vieilles Vignes” parcel (60 years old), “Les Ouvrées Rodin” is characterized by its elegant tannins and delicate structure. Marthe Sirieys, Erwan Faiveley’s great grandmother, had family links with art amateur Maurice Fenaille. In 1885, the latter became Auguste Rodin’s patron. In memory of the unique relationship with Auguste Rodin and as a hommage to his timeless work, we named this new gem of the Côte de Nuits: “Les Ouvrées Rodin”.
This 0.33-hectare plot, planted in 1966, features limestone-rich scree soils, with east and southeast exposure, and is cultivated using organic farming practices.
100% Pinot Noir aged for 16-18 months in French oak barrels, 60% new oak, 40% once used barrels.
