What importer Polaner Selections has to say about this wine...
Vineyard
Vineyard planted in the late 1960s in the village of Comblanchien near the border with Corgoloin.
Soil
Clay-centric parcel with very little topsoil before hitting Comblanchien limestone.
Viticulture
Organically farmed, incorporating some biodynamic principles, soils worked with a horse and plow. Heavy green harvesting to limit yields and encourage good concentration. All grapes are picked by hand at harvest.
Vinification
Harvested at optimum ripeness (always determined by consistent tasting in the vineyards), 100% destemmed, closed tank fermentation with cuvaison of 10 to 15 days. No sulfur added in vinification.
Aging
One year of ageing in oak barrels, 10% of which are new. Just a touch of sultur added at the bottling.

Focus On: Burgundy
Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.
While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!
From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
