Bourgogne
Cuvée Oncle Vincent
Until the last day, the 2021 wine year is trying. Marked by severe episodes of frost between April 5 and 9 which significantly reduced the harvest, the vines awakening was difficult, and the months of April and May were rainy and cool. Until the harvest, which began on September 20, the brutal weather changes set their tempo: responsiveness and constant attention are necessary. Fortunately, the lull in June allowed the flowering to take place without incident and veraison was favored by good conditions which set in from mid-August.

Tasting
Tasting note
A discreet first nose with saline notes and which reveals all its amplitude and concentration on the palate with aromas of white flowers. The selection of vines for this cuvée makes it possible to produce a more aristocratic white Burgundy, more tense and serious in intensity, more Puligny!
Food pairings
It goes wonderfully with a salmon blanquette, a paella or zucchini pasta.
