An entry-level wine of impeccable workmanship, simple but at the same time extraordinarily representative of Burgundy and its most distinctive features.

Wine description

Manual harvest, total destemming, alcoholic fermentation between 25 and 34 ° C in a cement vat for 10-15 days. Aging in French oak barrels, 15% new barrels for 12 months. Malolactic fermentation, racking and assembly in stainless steel tanks for 6 months on fine lees. Filtration and bottling.

Climate

After a particularly short winter, the months of February and March are almost spring, dry, with even a record of heat for the season on February 27, favoring the awakening and early development of the vines. On April 5th there is a first morning frost followed by four others until May 7th. Winegrowers run for cover by lighting fires to protect the vines. The summer of 2019 is one of the hottest known with two heat waves: one in late June and the other in late July. In some places it will exceed 40 ° C. Fortunately, the month of August brings rains that allow nature to regenerate. The climate is cool at the beginning of September to warm up as the harvest approaches, which begins in the middle of the month.
