DESCRIPTION
Casas de Bucalemu Fosiles Pinot Noir 2020 captures the richness of the terroir just 9 km from the sea on marine clay-limestone soils and with a strong influence from ocean salinity. The organic-certified vineyards are located in the D.O. Rocas de Santo Domingo, Leyda appellation. The wine is aged in French oak foudres. Casas de Bucalemu is a historic estate initially owned by the Jesuits until 1778 and has remained in the same family ever since. Established in 1858 in the Santo Domingo Valley, 9 km from the Pacific, the current vineyards were planted in 2008. The estate practices organic and manual viticulture on mineral-rich limestone soils.
On the nose, red fruits like strawberry and cherry, accompanied by earthy and mineral notes that evoke the marine terroir. On the palate, a fresh and lively attack, with a silky texture and fine tannins that bring a delicate elegance. It pairs well with duck with cherries or a wild mushroom and aged parmesan risotto. Serve between 10 and 12°C. Aging potential of 20 years.
REGION
Aconcagua
Chile
Located north of the Maipo Valley and stretching almost 100 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean to the foothills of the Andes, the Aconcagua region offers one of the widest ranges of terroirs in Chile. It is divided into three subregions with very distinct characters. The Aconcagua Valley, furthest east, enjoys warmer conditions and high altitude vineyards that produce Cabernet Sauvignon of lovely depth and Syrah that is both intense and nuanced. Further west, the Casablanca Valley has become the Chilean benchmark for cool climate wines, with bright, mineral Sauvignon Blanc, very precise Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with character. Finally, the San Antonio Valley, even closer to the ocean, is the coolest and most promising frontier of the region, led in particular by the vineyards of Leyda. From Andean warmth to Pacific sea breezes, Aconcagua is a region on the rise, made for lovers of wines that are both expressive and elegant.
