Domaine Danjean-Berthoux continues to deliver some of the most exceptional, terroir-driven values in Burgundy from their home base in the Côte Chalonnaise. Sourced from the estate’s premier cru flagship vineyard, "Clos du Cras Long," where old vines are deeply rooted in Oxfordian limestone and clay soils, this 100% Pinot Noir showcases the pedigree of the site without the interference of heavy oak. Winemaker Pascal Danjean relies entirely on native yeast fermentation and minimal use of new wood, letting the pristine fruit and striking mineral undercurrent speak directly for themselves.

In the glass, the 2023 vintage reveals a deep ruby core and introduces a brilliant aromatic profile of black cherry, crushed wild raspberry, and subtle hints of woodland spice. On the palate, the wine is ample yet remarkably elegant, balancing fleshy red and dark berry fruit with finely textured, velvety tannins. A mouthwatering lift and a distinct note of forest floor emerge on the long, savory finish, offering immediate accessibility while holding more than enough structural integrity to age beautifully over the next six to eight years. Pair this stunning Premier Cru with classic roasted duck or a grilled cut of beef.
