Tasting Notes
Vinification
Light pressing, without needing to work in an inert
atmosphere, some work in the open, and about 50% of stems
in the pressing. The objective being a more Burgundian style
that highlights the qualities of the land, over the varietal
expression. Minimum contribution of SO2, spontaneous
fermentation. All alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel at a
constant temperature of 16ºC. Then, a part of the volume
spends five months in French oak (not toasted, steam
bending) with its lees, and the remaining volume is also aged
with its lees in a concrete tank.
Vintage Notes
The year started with little precipitation during January and
February but with mild temperatures that were higher than
average. Little to no rainfall continued into Spring during April
and May, but June brought 15 days of storms and, in some
places, hail. This rain, followed by a hot summer caused more
rapid growth and induced the earliest veraison in memory. As
harvest approached, precipitation increased again over the
course of a few days, which eased the stress on the vines.
The harvest was quick and early, luckily avoiding the hail and
storms our area saw afterwards.
