Domaine La Varenne ‘La Croisette’ Bourgogne Blanc 2022
Location: France, Burgundy
Winemaker: Laurent Bourtourault
Grapes: Aligoté
Soil: Limestone
Winemaking: Organic farming. Hand harvest. Primary fermentation in vats using only indigenous yeasts.
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.
