100% Pinot Noir
Maison Ambroise is a long established, small négociant house, who operates on 21 hectares of their own vineyards and purchase grapes from another 3.
The vineyards producing this Cotes de Nuits Villages are located near Clos de la Maréchale, a famous Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru. The first impression is of abundance of ripe fruit, both on the nose and palate. Velvety and soft, albeit well structured this is a terrific wine, it would make a brilliant introduction to anyone new to red Burgundy. Easily one of the stars of our Burgundy selection, euro for euro there's hardly a better Pinot in the range.
Harvested manually, neither filtered nor fined, the wines are classic and expressive with distinct terroir-influenced personalities.

Description
Maison Ambroise dates back to the 18th century when only a few parcels had been planted around Nuits-Saint-Georges in Burgundy. Bertrand Ambroise took over the vineyard from his father-in-law in 1987 and he has been working on developing the winery's organic philosophy. All of the products used are organically certified. He removes many of the leaves around the bunches of the grapes to produce riper tannin and has de-stemmed the Pinot Noir since 2002 which, along with 28 day maceration, helps produce balanced wines of classic Burgundian character with structure and poise.
