Du Grappin Vezelay 2022 750ml
Product price
$46.00
Description
Mineral-driven, cooler climate Chardonnay. A great Chablis alternative.
35-year-old Chardonnay vines from the vineyard of Merlutte, in Kimmeridgian soil, an iodine-rich mix of grey marl and limestone, associated with mineral-driven wines. Along with a sunny aspect, and moderate altitude, the resulting wine is rich in fruit, weight and with a zippy finish; a signature Vezelay profile.
The juice was fermented naturally, one-third in a large oak foudre, highlighting weight, depth, aromatics and texture, and two thirds in a concrete egg, which focused the mineral zip, length, and salinity. Aged on full lies for 12 months and bottled after a very light filtration.

Le Grappin Savigny-les-Beaune Blanc 2022 750ml
Our idea for Le Grappin is to work with underappreciated plots of vines across Burgundy, that tell interesting stories.
From small parcels of Chardonnay vines on the cool slopes high above the village of Savigny-les-Beaune. Hand-harvested, pressed slowly, to enhance elegance, the juice was settled overnight before being racked along with fine lies to oak barrels for a native fermentation. Unfined, lightly filtered, after an elevage of 12 months.

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.
