Maison Champy Pernand Vergelesses Clos de Bully Rouge 2019

Clos de Bully is a Lieu Dit in the Northern part of the AOP which Champy share with one other owner. 40 year old vines, East south east facing Champy describe this site as being in a ‘cold corridor’, making it very important to keep the yields lower than 40 hl/ha or you simply don’t get the ripeness you need. This is exactly why we love this wine, it’s classic Burgundy, so fresh, like smelling fresh rhubarb with the leaves on.

50% wholebunch, 50% destemmed, with the whole clusters put in first so they are at the bottom of the tanks during ferment. Pressed off to 228 ltr barrels, 20% new for 12 months.
