Pernand-Vergelesses Les Combottes, Rapet - 2019

Viticulture

These are new plantations, at the beginning of the 2000s, on new land with good south-western exposure but difficult to work because of the steep slope. The name "Combottes" is a diminutive of combe, which alludes to the hilly character of this parcel. Located on the climate "Les plantes des champs et combottes", the hillside is an extension of the village, the soil is white, marly and fairly light. The rows are short with ditches to contain erosion.

Oenology

Pressing is done with a pneumatic press and lasts two hours. After 24 hours of settling at low temperatures, the juice is placed in barrels for fermentation. The proportion of new wood is 30%. The wine is bottled after 12 months of ageing.

Suggestions for accompaniment

A melting goat cheese in an aumônière, a langoustine stew, prawns, fine fish and Bresse blue cheese.
