The grapes were foot stomped in the press and given around 1 hour of maceration to extract flavour and texture from the skins. The wine was gently pressed and fermented with classic Burgundian yeast in neutral oak barrels. Full malolactic fermentation then took place to help build mouthfeel and naturally soften the wine’s acidity. The wine was aged for 7 months in neutral oak barrels bought second-hand from Romaric of Domaine Chavy-Chouet.
This has the fantastic thirst quenching acidity of green apple and lemon curd, followed by a long extension of the wine on the palate and a steely citrus finish. Give this wine a good swirl to unlock the high-quality fruit and subtle oak character. A little shy while young so worth opening up; decant or use a large Burgundy glass
