Volnay 1er Cru "Les Brouillards" 2017 - Domaine Bernard et Thierry Glantenay

wine description

The Brouillard vineyard of 1.5 hectares (planted between 1947 and 1955) lies at the foot of the village of Volnay and received its name from a small forest in feudal times. The slope offers good drainage and has a south-east exposure for a good maturation. Harvested by hand in small boxes, the yields are around 30 hL / ha. Fermentation occurs naturally in vats fed by gravity with indigenous yeasts and a maceration time of about 15 days. Aging takes place in oak barrels with a maximum of 20% new oak, from 14 to 18 months depending on the harvest. After racking without a pump, the bottling is done without clarification or filtration.
