Tasting Notes
75+ year old vines, the Vieilles Vignes is made from a number of plots, including Esmonin's tiny parcel of the 1er Cru Clos Prieur. Aged usually in 50% new oak and 50% in one year old oak; 50% whole cluster. 'Firm reduction and wood dominate the fruit when younger. Otherwise there is more power and mid-palate concentration to the sappy medium-bodied flavours that also exude a discreet minerality onto the more complex and slightly more structured finale. As it usually is, this is an excellent Gevrey villages and well worth your interest. - Excerpts from Burghound.
Less is more! Minimal intervention or Lo-fi wines encapsulate those producers who keep additions and manipulations to a minimum during the winemaking process. This means the wines are wild fermented, unfiltered and unfined, and only add sulfur during the process.
