HISTORY For decades the Bourgogne-Devaux family sold most of its grapes to other winemakers. In 2012, Luc Bourgogne decided the family should return to bottling its own wines, following in the footsteps of his grandparents who did the same.
Vines are cared for sustainably, following organic practices as much as possible. The age of vines on average is high, around 50 years, and thus vines are naturally low yielding.
Grapes are harvested by hand, fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks and aged in French oak barrels for 12 to 18 months, depending on the vintage; wines see from 10 to 20 percent new wood.
VINEYARDS & WINEMAKING
A soulful selection of older-vine fruit from three separate plots in Pommard. Energy and silk, persistence and length. A lovely example of the natural elegance of classic Pinot Noir from this historic Cote de Beaune village.
Aromas of summer berries, wildflowers, light spice. Medium-bodied, refined tannins. Flavors of red fruit, baking spices.
