ReadyMore about this product
Domaine Pierre Brisset
South of Beaune, in the village of Bligny-les-Beaune, Côte-d'Orien, the main activity is viticulture, due to the availability of favorable soils for making excellent white and red Burgundy wines. Its historic center is popular for its 12th-century church, former vineyard houses and 14th-century castle. Surrounded by vineyards in Pommard, Volnay and Meursault, the village keeps Domaine Pierre Brisset wines in its castle. If Burgundy impresses the most with something, it is that this region, blessed with viticulture, demonstrates in depth the understanding of terroir, with its 100 AOC classifications. Maison Pierre Brisset chooses to put his name, only, on twenty-one of them, only, from the Premiere and Grand Cru categories. These are the great Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of the most prestigious appeals in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Production is deliberately limited to keep the focus on quality.

Burgundy
In this region, red wines are produced from a single variety - Pinot Noir, but the wines actually differ in quality from light and ordinary to rich, complex, and truly majestic. Burgundy is famous for its highly 'crushed' vineyards, and the general belief is that the smaller the vineyard area, the better the wine. The best Burgundy wines come from Côte d'Or, a strip of just 30 miles, divided in the center into 2 separate parts; Côte de Nuits to the north and Côte de Beaune to the south. The fame of Côte de Nuits lies in the red wines - here, 95% of red wines are produced from the Pinot Noir grape. Naturally, some of the best, age-worthy, most exotic, and expensive wines are also found here. Côte de Beaune produces approximately 38% white wine, 60% red, and 2% sparkling. The variety for white wine is exclusively Chardonnay, and the quality ranges from the best, Montrachets and Corton Charlemagnes, Meursault, Puligny, and Chassagne to the more ordinary Macon Blanc. The former traditionally age in small oak barrels, while the wines from Macon are usually lighter in character and correspondingly offer a good quality-to-price ratio. The red wines from Beaune do not possess the fame of their 'brothers' from Côte de Nuits, with exceptions being those from Pommard, Corton, and Volnay. Generally, they are lighter in style, but depending on the vintage, they can show potential that successfully rivals Côte de Nuits and beyond.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is the dominant red wine grape of Burgundy, a challenge for every single vine grower and wine producer. It can be found in Germany (as Spätburgunder), Italy (Pino Nero), Chile, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. The wines show a specific aroma of red berries and cherry depending on the vinification method employed - from fresh red cherries in lighter wines to stewed black cherries in weightier examples, many of them also showing hints of earthy flavours.
