A new oddness from our wine casks exchange tradition. The Domaine Chandon de Briailles located at Savigny les Beaune made us pleased to offer some freshly emptied fortified Pinot noir barrels. It was a hailing vintage which was hard to be vinificated. They fortified (added some wine spirit) at the fermentation. They left the wine several years in wood, like a Port wine.
In 2018, we filled these 4 barrels with a 5 years old malt whisky, already aged in Oloroso barrels. The second maturation last 6 years more.
Red fruits aroma became concentrated with a light smoky flavor, this balance is becoming interesting.
Approx 1800 bottles are made in February 2024, bottled at natural strength 49% alc./vol., under the label FLEETING R.
