Produced from south facing vineyards situated just outside the boundary with Pommard, this is a really interesting wine. 3 parcels, the oldest of which are planted with 70 year old vines, are very well positioned and enjoy all day sunshine. The top soil here is very thin, and the average age of the vines is around 40 years old. Alban adds 4% Pinot Beurot (an ancient Burgundian grape similar to Pinot Gris) to the wine to enhance the aromatics.
This is an En Primeur wine and special conditions apply.

Domaine Machard de Gramont

This domaine is a great source of Burgundy at sensible prices. “Value for money” is not something that is often associated with the wines of the Core d’Or, however, we have dealt with this family domaine for many years for our commercial Burgundy n...
Wow! A very rich, forward wine showing a decadent quality of fruit. Intense, layers of mulberry, crème de framboise and balancing, savoury chalky tannins. The oak is integrated, there is a touch of spice and a sweet, long finish.
Aged in 300 litre Hungarian oak of which 20% is new.
