Vineyard Plot: The plot is located above Clos Saint-Denis with very stony soil and a pronounced slope.
Grape Variety: Pinot Noir
Viticulture: The vineyard is cultivated using sustainable methods. Peirazeau uses organic products as much as possible and no pesticides. He shows respect for the subsoil with rigorous mechanical work by limiting passages in order to avoid compaction as much as possible.
Vinification: The harvest is entirely destemmed, to avoid excess tannins. In the cellar, Peirazeau has a minimal-intervention approach; he uses only indigenous yeasts and no added substances. The grapes are macerated in stainless steel tanks for 2-4 weeks with gentle manual pumping-over and punching-down for soft extraction.
Aging: In oak barrels (around 30% new oak on average) for about 18 months, no racking. Light filtration before bottling.
Tasting Notes: The feminine Morey-Saint-Denis les Chaffots is similar in style to Chambolle-Musigny. Velvety, fatty, supple, and airy are its characteristics.
