2022 Domaine du Gringet, 'Vers Etraz' Ayze Blanc , Savoie, France
$64.00
Arguably the most celebrated terroir of the appellation. Located in the commune of Marignier, Le Feu is a south-facing hillside consisting of marl reddened by the presence of clay rich in iron oxide. While Belluard's Le Feu was a blended cuvée, the domaine has chosen to produce a single-parcel wine from vines planted uniquely on red marl. Their Le Feu is vinified and aged like all other parcellaire wines, the taste differences being only the reflection of distinct terroirs: gentle pressing, fermentation and ageing for 9 months on fine lees in an egg-shaped concrete tanks, bottling without fining or filtration and further ageing for 10 months in glass. Winemaker Vincent Ruiz.
