Domaine La Varenne ‘La Pie Meudon’ Bourgogne Rouge 2021
Location: France, Burgundy
Winemaker: Laurent Bourtourault
Grapes: Pinot Noir
Soil: Limestone
Winemaking: Organic farming. Hand harvest. Primary fermentation in vats using only indigenous yeasts, then aged in oak barrels for 10 to 12 months. There is no filtration, some sulfites added depending on vintage. Total S02 is 30 mg/l. Yield is 32 hl/ha.
From the Importer Jeffrey Alpert Selections: The Domaine La Varenne is a two-hectare estate in Burgundy, and at the helm is Laurent Bourtourault. The vines are all located in his village of Culles-les-Roches. The soil makes the terroir a geological mosaic and playground for the winemaker. The vines are organic, and the pigs are responsible for the work where a tractor would not be able to go. Laurent’s top priority is the harvest of beautiful, healthy grapes that are picked by hand. Once picked, the grapes are quickly moved to vats where the indigenous yeasts get to work. After aging, the botting is done according to lunar rhythms and atmospheric pressure. Primary fermentation in vats using only indigenous yeasts, then aged in oak barrels for 10 to 12 months.
