Description
HAUTES CÔTES DE BEAUNE
DERRIÈRE BAUBIGNY
APPELLATION HAUTES-CÔTES DE BEAUNE CONTRÔLÉE
“From 40-year-old, south-east facing vines in the parcel of Derrière Baubigny, below the village of Orches. Limestone soil, rich in mica, and studded with fossils.
“Mica gives the palate weight, while the alkaline soil keeps the wine tense with great acidity. Native fermentation in a large oak foudre and several large, old barrels, aged on gross lies for 12 months. Bottied unfined and lightly filtered.”

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
