Description

Our Du Grappin wines are a natural off-shoot from Le Grappin; vins de soif, made to be delicious, fun and refreshing. We source our grapes from the passionate and revolutionary growers in the under-rated Mâconnais, Beaujolais and Rhône regions. We make them by hand in our ancient cuverie in the walls of Beaune, with as much care and attention as with our Le Grappin wines. The results are wines with vivacity and personality; a joy to drink.

Weight 2 lbs
Vineyard

From a parcel of 45 and 70+ year-old vines, on the top half of the slope, very near the border with Chassagne-Montrachet. As one might gather from the name, the soil is a quite gravelly, lots of small rocks over Argovian marl. This is similar in composition to some special Volnay plots, and thus an inspiration for our vinification.

Winemaking

Having found many Les Gravières to be very fruit forward, we decided to do a 100% whole cluster, no SO2 ferment to help frame that fruit with lither tannins and high-toned aromatics. Hand-harvested, chilled overnight the clusters were put into a CO2-sparged wooden tank for a 14-day native fermentation. The fruit was untouched save for a daily sparging with CO2, with one pigèage each of the last two days of fermentation. The wine finished to dryness in tank before a year in 300L oak barrels with the finest of lies. No fining or filtration.
