From vines planted in 1930’s on gravel and sandy soil that suits the 50/50 Gamay/Pinot field blend. Oddly, both varieties reach maturity at the same time. Normally Gamay would ripen quite a bit earlier. It seems that this vineyard is in harmony. 100% de-stemmed, lightly crushed, pneumatic press, indigenous yeast fermentation. Aged for 15-18 months in barrel, unfiltered.
‘The 2021 Bourgogne Passetoutgrain L’Exceptionne, from a complanté plot of Pinot Noir and Gamay (50/50), has a lovely bouquet with cassis, wild strawberry fruit and hints of blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy citrus notes, tart cherries, blueberry and a touch of pain d’épice on the finish. Delicious. Drink 2023-2028’ (88-90) points, Neal Martin, Vinous Nov 2022
‘Malolactic not finished so racked to tank. Dense vigorous purple. Rich plummy fruit, spicy too, very firm on the palate with an explosive ripe raspberry fruit beneath. Less acidity than Gamay sometimes gives. Long and impressive finish. Drink from 2024-2027. Tasted: October 2022. 87-88 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
