✨ Technical Specifications
Sourced from the rolling hillsides of the Côte Chalonnaise where Jurassic limestone and clay-marl soils predominate, this cuvée captures the cooler, limestone-driven character of southern Burgundy. The fruit undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to protect fresh primary aromatics, followed by gentle pneumatic pressing. Maturation takes place in a combination of inert vats and seasoned French oak barrels to soften the tannins without masking the delicate red berry profile.
🍾 About the Producer
Signé Bourgogne represents an expressive regional portfolio crafted under the historic négociant house Maison François Martenot, which traces its foundation to July 1922 when Lucien Gustave Martenot acquired estate holdings in Savigny-lès-Beaune. Now integrated into Les Grands Chais de France (GCF) group with operational bottling headquarters in Vignoles, the brand sources fruit across premier Burgundy subregions, notably the limestone and clay-marl soils of the Côte Chalonnaise. Benefiting from a semi-continental climate featuring sun-exposed rolling hillsides, the viticulture adheres to sustainable principles to ensure authentic varietal expression. Traditional vinification combines thermo-regulated maceration and gentle extraction in stainless steel with balanced maturation in French oak barrels. Benchmark labels include the Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise Pinot Noir, a cuvée celebrated for pure red fruit aromas, bright acidity, supple tannins, and transparent terroir typicity.
