Grapes are selected from different vineyards, generally from the Côte de Beaune. They are hand-picked and then brought to the Drouhin cellars on the outskirts of Beaune. The destemmed grapes ferment in open wooden vats or stainless steel fermenters for two-to-three weeks. Part of the wine is aged in barrels, part in stainless steel tanks, so that the wine can acquire more complexity and keep its fruitiness.

100% Pinot Noir

It is not a wine we recommend to cellar for many years. Drink it when young, up to two or three years. We suggest serving Laforet at 59° F-61° F. Easy to match with food, it will be best with assorted deli meats, poultry, white meat, "au gratin" dishes, roasted meat and soft cheese.

"A wine full of charm: bright ruby color and a nose rich with aromas of red fruit (raspberry, red currants, wild strawberry). On the palate, the wine is pleasant, fruity and refreshing, with light tannins and great elegance". - Véronique Boss-Drouhin
