Producer

Producer

The Domaine Comte Senard vineyard is situated on clay-limestone soils, typical of the Burgundy region, which promote excellent drainage and mineral retention. The vines, some several decades old, are cultivated with care, respecting natural cycles. Burgundy's continental climate, with its hot summers and cold winters, allows for the production of high-quality grapes, rich in aromas and flavors. The Premier Cru Les Valozières parcels benefit from optimal exposure, contributing to the unique expression of this terroir.

Owner and history

Today, the estate is managed by the Senard family, who carry on the winemaking tradition with passion and determination. The current owners have successfully combined respect for tradition with innovation, introducing sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. Their commitment to quality and authenticity is reflected in wines that faithfully express the Burgundy terroir. The Senard family is also dedicated to passing on their expertise and love of the vine to future generations, thus ensuring the continuity of this exceptional winemaking heritage.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Domaine Comte Senard is a meticulous process that reflects respect for the fruit and the terroir. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are destemmed before being gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, allowing for precise temperature management and the extraction of the Pinot Noir's delicate aromas. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, some of which are new, for approximately 12 months. This aging phase imparts aromatic complexity and refined tannic structure to the wine, while subtly integrating the oak notes.
