Biodynamic. Single-vineyard Pinot Noir. Replanted some twenty years ago to 12,000 vines per hectare, La Ronce was established with low-yielding, massale selection vines specifically chosen to suit the site’s warm microclimate. Each vine naturally yields only 2-4 bunches —about half to a third of what you would expect of a well-managed Grand Cru site in the Côte d’Or! Unlike Les Mazelots in Irancy, La Ronce is on white clay soils rich in fossils. This soil gifts a more seductive, sweet-fruited, ‘Beaunois’ style of Pinot than the Mazelots’ more mineral, structured persona.
