Description
In Burgundy, this word refers to old common fields cultivated and let lie fallow or planted with hornbeams.
Until the last day, the 2021 wine year is trying. Marked by severe episodes of frost between April 5 and 9 which significantly reduced the harvest, the vines awakening was difficult, and the months of April and May were rainy and cool. Until the harvest, which began on September 20, the brutal weather changes set their tempo: responsiveness and constant attention are necessary. Fortunately, the lull in June allowed the flowering to take place without incident and veraison was favored by good conditions which set in from mid-August.
Tasting note – A wine of great finesse with a toasted and lemony nose. The palate is precise, chiseled and offers a balanced finish.
Food pairings – Ideal with a velouté of blond mushrooms with truffle cream or Veal sweetbread vol-au-vent, chanterelle mushrooms with lemon sauce.
