The first in a series of one-off bottlings that are explorations of terroir. This Irancy has a racy, sanguine character that is unique from Clement's Bourgogne Rouge, though the vinification methods for both are quite similar

Harvest & Vinification
The first in a series of one-off bottlings that are explorations of terroir. This Irancy has a racy, sanguine character that is unique from Clément's Bourgogne Rouge, though the vinification methods for both are quite similar. The juice undergoes pre-fermentation cold maceration for three days, macerating for eighteen days total. Pumping over occurs twice a day at the start of native yeast fermentation, with some pigéage at the end. The wine undergoes natural malolactic fermentation. It ages in neutral barrels on the fine lees for 22 months and is bottled unfiltered.
