Bourgogne Aligoté Monts de Fussey

Information

Description

Chanterêves' Les Monts de Fussey is an Aligoté grown above Échevronne, just below Fussey, at around 400 metres. The slope faces southeast and has stony limestone-marl soils, with abundant active calcium that limits vigour and yields. Organic cultivation incorporates biodynamic methods and plant-based preparations. Crushed grapes are pressed slowly and fermented with indigenous yeasts. Barrel maturation is followed by a period on fine lees in stainless steel. The wine's identity remains connected to this particular hillside site through a restrained cellar approach that accompanies the fruit without elaborate intervention.
