Le Grappin Hautes Cotes de Beaune Derriere Baubigny 2022 750ml

A broader white Burgundy, with depth and complexity that is balanced by fresh acidity.

From 40-year-old, south-east facing vines in the parcel of Derriere Baubigny, below the village of Orches. Limestone soil, rich in mica, and studded with fossils.

Mica gives the palate weight, while the alkaline soil keeps the wine tense with great acidity. Native fermentation in a large oak foudre, and several large, old barrels, ages on gross lies for 12 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
