2022 Le Grappin Les Greves Beaune Premier Cru, France
$92.99
From a rare parcel of Chardonnay mid-slope in Beaune’s most famous climat, and adjacent toBouchard Père et Fils’s monopole “Les Vignes d’Enfant Jesus”, these 50-year-old vines face south on a perfect incline for sunlight interception and drainage. Less than 1% of “Les Grèves” is planted to Chardonnay, and there are only five producers left who make a white “Les Grèves”. It is an honour to be one of them!
Hand-picked, and slowly pressed over several hours. The juice was chilled and oxidised in tank for 24 hours and then racked to a two 500L barrels and a 220L Wine Globe (a barrel sized glass demijohn) for fermentation by indigenous yeasts without SO2, enzymes nor nutrients. Aged on full lies , without stirring or Spring racking, for eighteen months before bottling. Unfined, lightly filtered and bottled under DIAM 10.
