DESCRIPTION


LES MECHALOTS is a wine made with vines planted in 2010 in the place called Les Méchalots and located at the bottom of slope in Marsannay.



TERROIR


The vines of the LES MECHALOTS cuvée are planted on a plot of approximately 0.3ha, which terroir is made up of cone pebbles that were deposited during the last Quaternary glaciation period, 20,000 years ago: gravel and pebbles initially coming from the plateaus and transported by ancient rivers during the successive freezes / unfreeze episodes have been accumulating in the combe.



WINEGROWING & WINEMAKING


The estate lost its Organic Agriculture certification to save its harvest in 2016, a catastrophic year when frost and hail devastated the Burgundy vineyards. The Organic label AB should be back on the bottles for the 2020 vintage.

Once harvested, the grapes are rigorously sorted and then pressed using a vertical press for 5 to 7 hours. The must is then transferred into old barrels for its alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. No yeasting is done, only the native yeasts are involved. The must then matures for 12 to 18 months in these same containers.

At the end of the aging phase, the must is drawn off without fining, it is lightly filtered if and only if this operation is necessary. It is then bottled with a light addition of SO2 to stabilize the wine.

The bottle is sealed with a DIAM5® cork stopper which guarantees the absence of any TCA contamination or cork taste.
