Lucien Jacob Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Rouge 2021 750ml

This wine is sourced from the family’s vineyards in Echevronne. It is a classic red of the area with exuberant red cherry fruit playing in the nose and on the palate. It is vinified in the same fashion as the more important appellations of the domaine: a brief period of cold maceration followed by a cuvaison that extends for about two weeks accompanied by a daily remontage and pigeage. The lot of this wine destined for the USA is usually bottled, unfiltered, after 15 months of élevage in barrel. About four barrels (1,200 bottles) are purchased annually for the US market.
