Product Description
A blend of classic Burgundy grapes – Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gamay and the lesser grown Aligote. They are mainly sourced from vineyards in the Cotes and Haute Cotes de Beaune and de Nuits (limestone and marl soils) plus the Cotes Chalonnise (granite soils) and Epineuil (Kimmeridgian clay and limestone).
The grapes are pressed on immediate arrival at the winery and fermented in stainless steel vats at 18C. Secondary fermentation is in bottle, which are matured for 12 months and stored on their sides (‘sur latte’; as happens in Champagne) before being put in gyropallets and disgorged off the lees. A ‘liqueur d’expedition’ tops up the bottles before corking.
