Bourgogne
Cuvée Oncle Vincent
The season begins with a mild and dry winter, leading to an early start to the growing cycle. A significant episode of frost occurred on the Chardonnay on April 5 then on the Pinot Noir on April 14, causing a harvest loss (30% to 50%). A cooling at the beginning of June leads to capricious flowering. This causes runoff and further reduces yields while concentrating the aromas. The hot summer induces water stress in certain places which delays the maturity of the grapes. Because the berries are small and few number, the sugar level in the grapes is naturally high but the lack of water helped maintain good acidity.

Tasting
Tasting note
The aromas of this wine express the fruits with white pulpit (pear, peach ...), with buttered notes. Of a beautiful fracher in the mouth, its texture is creamy, of a beautiful outfit with a zest of nerve that surpasses it. The selection of vines for this cuvée allows to produce a Burgundy White more aristocratic, more tense and serious in intensity, more Puligny!
Food pairings
It will perfectly accompany fish and shellfish, white meat.
