2022 Le Grappin Bourgogne Cote d'Or Les Seurrets Burgundy, France
$45.99
Old vines from the vineyard of Les Seurrets, on the plain below the slopes of Pommard, near Bligny-lès-Beaune. The soil is alluvial dolomitic limestone marl over a coarse-grained
limestone bedrock. This is the classic red marl of Pommard, which will deliver spice and fruit in spades and can also result in overly firm tannins. To tame this tendency to firmness we did a very delicate extraction to highlight the aromatics while keeping the tannins fine, only punching the cap down twice at the end of cuvaison. After a natural fermentation, with the fruit left as whole clusters in a concrete tank, of 13 days, the grapes were then slowly pressed in our basket press, which released sugar, the wine finishing it's ferment off skins, adding to the brightness of the cuvée . The wine was then aged for 12 months in a large oak vat, to slowly round out the wine while keeping freshness. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
