The wine
This cuvée is produced from forty-year-old vines cultivated in clay and limestone soils. Harvesting is by hand; vinification is thermoregulated, and uses native yeasts. In order to preserve the freshness of the fruit, the wine is matured for between 12 and 18 months, depending on the quality of the harvest. This cuvée – which, surprisingly, requires a few years' keeping – will seduce you with its delicate fruitiness, floral notes and attractive density.
About the Producer Domaine de la Bongran
It is to Jean Thévenet and his son Gautier to whom we owe the sweet wines of Burgundy. Domaine de la Bongran is located in the Mâconnais, the most southern part of the Burgundy wine region. The wines are amazing, both when tasting and especially when drinking them, the results are quite simply stunning. The perfectly balanced wines of Domaine Bongran are to be discovered at all costs.
