Winemaking of La Digoine follows the same philosophy as La Fortune with about 2/3 use of whole bunches in the oak winemakers. The maceration time is no more than two weeks and the wine will be aged in barrels aged 2 to 5 years. The aromas are delicate and elegant, the fruit, although a little shy at first, is distinguished by its depth and power. The...
Traditional Burgundian cellar approach, with partial fermentation of whole bunches in oak fermenters for 14 days. This is followed by maturation in barrels from 1 to 5 years old, for a total of 12 months. Concentrated on the nose, which offers complex notes of red cherries, plum and game, while the palate is powerful and quite full-bodied but with...
One of Rully's great terroirs, a gorgeous premier cru that combines the soft, perfectly ripened fruit from the eastern exposure slopes of "Les Cloux" with spicy peppery elements, classic as can be, and with the corners rounding the beautifully integrated barrel. The vineyard is biodynamically farmed and the wine is matured in a combination of barrels and...
The oldest vines are planted on clay-limestone soils planted in 1956. The vines are grown using organic farming and biodynamic methods and a small percentage of this wine's grapes will undergo whole bunch fermentation, enhancing the fruit and a spicy floral quality to the bouquet. The fermentation is spontaneous in old barrels with very gentle extractions...
The Vajra family avoid a more fancy or modern version of the variety that would mean new barrique in plenty, leaving their classic Barbera to rest solely on stainless steel tanks. And even though it remains a wine with toned alcohol, strength and intensity, the wonderful fruit of the variety shines on through clearly and reminds of wild cherries and...
Unforgettable like the steep terraces of the vineyards of the region from which the grapes come from above the winding river. The conditions are ideal for Mencia to deliver its fleshy delicious fruit and sense of freshness. Fermentation takes place with whole bunches at 100% and the wine is matured for a year in different neutral barrels of 500, 350 and...
Although not a single-vineyard wine like Camino Novo and Seoane, Rosende comes from a particular granite slope with a percentage of sand that is reminiscent of vineyards in the Northern Rhône and Cornas. The vineyards are between 28 and 60 years old, complex in varietal composition, but the majority are Mencia. The grapes are vinified in a large concrete...
Cuvee Lopy is produced from vines over seventy years old on the characteristic stony soils of the region, cultivated according to the principles of biodynamic farming. At the winery, vinification is done in concrete tanks with indigenous yeasts and the wine is matured for twelve months in already used 450 lt barrels. It is bottled with minimal sulphites...
The best vineyards of the small commune of Volnay can have much in common with the stunning aromatic elegance of a Chambolle Musigny from the Cote de Nuits. And at the Santenots level this is matched with structure and depth of fruit that you only find in the top Burgundies and the best vineyards. The vinification is completely traditional with destemming...
