Thierry Hesnault Dix Boisselées is an extraordinary Pinot Noir from the Loire Valley. It is produced on a tiny plot of just one-tenth of a hectare, with vines over 100 years old. The wine stands out for its traditional and natural winemaking approach, with whole-bunch fermentation for a month followed by 18 months of aging in a single old oak barrel. The result is a complex wine with earthy sous bois notes, soft tannins, and an impeccable finish.
Hesnault's methods are deeply influenced by his respect for nature. His use of a cave made of tuffeau stone for aging, without modern amenities like electricity, allows the wine to evolve slowly and naturally, adding to its purity and aging potential. For those who enjoy rich, elegant wines with a mix of forest floor and fresh fruit aromas, Dix Boisselées 2020 offers a unique and timeless experience. Pair this wine with earthy dishes like wild mushrooms, roast poultry, or herb-crusted lamb, which will complement the wine's rustic yet refined profile
