Closerie Des Lys Pays D'Oc Pinot Noir 2020 750 ML

The palate is an explosion of delicate flavors, nice and delightful mouthfeel. Quite delicate and smooth texture on the long finish.\n \n Producer Information\n The story began in 1928 at Davayé, when Joanny Collovray settled in this small village in the south of Burgundy a few kilometres west of Mâcon, farming the land, making goat’s cheeses and growing various crops, including vines. As a simple tenant farmer he made wine on the property and merchants took care of selling it. We find his name mentioned in the specialist press already in 1940, where he was praised for the quality of his work. He was succeeded by his son Henri in 1956. Working with his father on the farm, Henri maintained the practice of polyculture. At that time it was not wine that represented the principal revenue for the family, but the production of goat’s cheese. Nevertheless, he extended the family’s vine holdings by purchasing a few parcels in the Mâcon-Davayé appellation. His son Christian began working in the vines at the age of 16, and later gave up animal farming to devote himself entirely to vine growing. The Terrier family had no history of cultivating vines but, as Léon Terrier was the village blacksmith, they had always worked alongside the local winegrowers. Having grown up in this environment, his son Jean-Luc Terrier chose to go to agricultural college, specialising in viticulture, crossing paths along the way with his neighbour and childhood friend, Christian Collovray.
