Description
Gabin and Felix Richoux’s family has been farming in Irancy since 1610. The 11th generation siblings assume control from their father, Thierry, and are continuing the tradition of complex and beautiful wines.
Irancy’s northern location is merely kilometers from Chablis, with limestone ridden land that creates unique Pinot Noir bottlings. Vineyards can be steep, and form a dramatic amphitheater around the village itself.
Harvest is done manually, with extensive sorting in both the vineyard and cellar. Grapes are completely destemmed for a slow fermentation with native yeasts. A 26 month elevage follows – two months in steel and 24 months in 300L tuns.
Tasting Notes: Complex with rich red fruits and unique texture – a racy long finish.
Pair With: Classic Red Sauce Dishes, Roasted Light Meats, Braises
