Bader Mimeur Bourgogne Aligote “Les Pierres”

Les Pierres (the stones) is a lieu dit that lies in the Bourgogne AOP section of Chassagne, just 250 meters from the vineyard of Chateau de Chassagne Montrachet. Nathalie was keen to get across that this wine is 100% fermented in barrel, which is typical now of many of the top Domaine’s producing Aligote. They own a very small plot within this lieu dit of 0.26 hectares, producing around 1500 bottles per year vintage dependant.

Hand picked, whole-bunch pressed to tank. Left to settle overnight. Racked off gross lees to barrel. All seasoned oak. Wild fermented followed by malolactic. Left on fine lees for 10 months.
