This wine comes from the southern slopes, limestone and granite gravel soil, where vines are about 50 years old. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermentation takes place without added sulfites in order to maintain the expressiveness of the terroir. The aroma is dominated by notes of red berries such as currants and cherries, complemented by subtle nuances of green tea. The taste of the wine is dense, soft, with balanced tannins and a fresh, mineral aftertaste.
About the manufacturer
Continuing the family winemaking tradition and a philosophy of sustainability, Domaine Chevrot et Fils is a family farm operating in the Maranges region since the 1830s, which was taken over by brothers Pablo and Vincent Chevrot in 2000. Today, they cultivate around 20 hectares of vineyards in 15 different AOCs (including Maranges and Santenay), following the principles of organic farming: using horses for ploughing, sowing cover crops and limiting the amount of fungicides - all to maintain healthy soil and a vibrant ecology.
Horses Valentino and Hotesse - a solid support team in the vineyard. One of the distinctive elements of Domaine Chevrot is the friendly approach to soil management, instead of heavy machinery, part of the work is done by two hardy workhorses named Valentine and Hotesse. Thanks to their help, the vineyards are worked gently, without compacting the soil, and maintaining ecological techniques is symbolic of their commitment: wine is born from healthy, naturally living land. Authentic expression of terroir and minimal intervention - The Chevrot brothers perfectly balance tradition and innovation - their wines not only accurately reflect the terroir, but are also often produced with minimal intervention: fermentation with local yeasts, low sulfur content, and the influence of oak is balanced (around 5-30% new oak depending on the type of cuvée). They also participate in the programs of the Burgundy Wine Board (BIVB) - they study and combat Brettanomyces infections, thus contributing to the dissemination of all Burgundy quality.
