Description
BOURGOGNE CÔTE D’OR ‘LES SEURRETS’
APPELLATION BOURGOGNE COTE D’OR CONTROLÉE
“Old vines, from Les Seurrets, on the plain below Pommard.
“Dolomitic, alluvial marl over a coarse-grained limestone bed, which results in structured wines with body. Hand harvested. Native ferment as whole clusters in a concrete tank. A very delicate extraction to highlight the aromatics, while keeping the tannins fine. Basket pressed after 13 days then aged for 12 months in a large oak vat. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.”

About Le Grappin
“My vision for Le Grappin is to seek out special sites in the over-looked, under-appreciated reaches of Burgundy, that tell a story. I search out viticulteurs as maniacal as me, who tend their vines throughout the year, who know their sites and how best to make the site shine. My job is to ensure the wine reaches it’s true potential, working by hand, with small lots, giving each wine as much care and attention as my viticulteurs have paid to the vines. I believe one finds a sense of detail, purity, and focus in my wines as a result. I hope you enjoy the stories my wines have to tell.” – Andrew Nielsen, Le Grappin
