Domaine de la Saraziniere 2018 "Les Devants" Mâcon-Bussières Rouge

$27.99

Importer Notes: Father and son Philippe and Guillaume Trébignaud are the 3rd and 4th generations to farm a selection of well-situated parcels in the southern Mâcon. Their parcels contain a swathe of older vines, including single old vine parcels of Chardonnay and Gamay planted in 1926. Even the domaine’s entry-level bottling is made with fruit from vines averaging 60 years old. The domaine boasts an array of single parcel bottlings, both white and red, all of which are single varietal – each showcasing a unique terroir. In true Burgundian fashion, Philippe is fascinated by the subtle differences of each parcel and its unique exposition, working intuitively to coax the nuanced expression of each site. Limestone subsoil is the geological common thread, and father and son let it take center stage in each cuvée. The vines dig deep into the limestone bedrock, allowing the duo to hone the racy and vibrant qualities that make their wines so compelling.  They have always worked with the conviction that the only way to farm is with living soils, regularly plowed and not treated with pesticides and herbicides. Fermentations are always done with native yeasts. In 2018, they began transitioning to organic certification through Ecocert.
