Maxime Crotet Bourgogne Pinot Noir "Opulence" 2023

Maxime Crotet’s "Opulence" is a stunning expression of modern, low-intervention Burgundy. Grown in chalky limestone and clay soils, the hand-harvested, dry-farmed fruit undergoes a whole-cluster carbonic maceration and traditional foot-treading. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 12 months in French oak with minimal sulfur added only at bottling, this wine bridges the gap between old-world terroir and high-energy natural winemaking. Expect a juicy, vibrant, and incredibly fragrant palate loaded with bright red berries, a subtle earthy minerality, and silky tannins.
