👉 “Pinot Noir blended with rare César grape – a signature of Irancy.”

The Domaine Saint Germain 2020 Irancy “Le Paradis” is a classic and expressive red Burgundy from the lesser-known but highly distinctive Irancy appellation, located just southwest of Chablis in northern Burgundy. Crafted by winemaker Christophe Ferrari, this wine showcases the unique identity of Irancy, where Pinot Noir is traditionally blended with a small percentage of the rare indigenous grape César.

Produced from a blend of 95% Pinot Noir and 5% César, “Le Paradis” offers a deeper structure and spice profile compared to typical Burgundy Pinot Noir, making it a compelling and character-driven wine for those seeking something beyond the classic Côte de Nuits style.

The vineyards are planted on clay and limestone soils with south-east to south-west exposure, allowing for optimal ripening and balance. With an average vine age of 35 years and careful parcel selection, the wine reflects both concentration and freshness.

Christophe Ferrari, who established his domaine in Irancy in the late 1980s, combines traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques with modern precision, including hand harvesting and aging in oak barrels to enhance complexity while preserving terroir expression.

The 2020 vintage benefited from warm and sunny conditions, resulting in a wine that is both ripe and vibrant.

Tasting Notes

This wine shows a bright ruby color and an inviting aromatic profile of ripe red berries, black fruits, and subtle caramel notes.

On the palate, it is well-balanced and structured, offering a long finish with finely spiced tannins and hints of licorice, supported by freshness and roundness.

The presence of César adds a touch of depth, spice, and rustic character, making this a uniquely expressive Burgundy.
