La Petite Empreinte 2023 Côteaux Bourguignons Más a Tierra

From a plot of Pinot Noir, planted in 1990, in the commune of Vincelottes in the Yonne department on a hill with a westerly exposure.
The soil is Kimmeridgian limestone and clay. In conversion to organic. The name, Más a Tierra is inspired by the name of the island where the real Robinson Crusoe ran aground and is a recognition of the plot’s isolation. In 2023, Romain and Mélissa had a very good harvest which challenged the available tank space for macerating. As a result they made one direct press, the juice from which was added to the macerating whole bunches. The maceration was for about 21 days with 1 or 2 punch downs. After pressing the wine was aged for a year in barrels of varying sizes between 228 and 700 litres, without racking. Thanks to the directly-pressed juice, this wine is the lighter of the two reds. No added sulphites.
