Rully 1er Cru La Fosse rouge, Christophe Grandmougin - 2018

Provenance: Burgundy
Appellation: Rully
Domain: Christophe Grandmougin
Grape variety(ies): Pinot noir
On-call time: 10 years
Alcohol degree: 13.5%
Classement: Premier Cru

Once a stopover for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela, this estate was acquired in 1955 by Christophe-Amédée Grandmougin, then taken over by his son Christophe in 1991. Discreet but talented, and trained at a good school, the latter signs here a suave Premier Cru, which pinotes (cherry, kirsch), then evolves on spices and violet. The body is dense, but not without refinement and sapidity. It can be drunk on the fruit or after 3-4 years.

Technique

Viticulture

Planting density: 10,000 vines/ha. Plot facing south/south-east (1 ha). The average age of the vineyard is 40 years. Sustainable cultivation. The soils are weeded mechanically and the manure is essentially composed of composted bovine manure from organic farming. Yields are controlled by early disbudding and green harvesting at the end of July. High trimming and manual leaf removal are carried out on the rising side at the end of June.

Oenology

The grapes are harvested by hand and transported in crates. The vinification remains traditional and is adapted to each vintage. The red wine is matured in oak barrels for about 12 months and these are renewed every 3 years. The wine is generally bottled between the fifteenth and twentieth month following the harvest.
