Domaine Bersan Cotes D'Auxerre Blanc
Vineyard: Saint-Bris, 2.4 hectares, 5 to 45-year old vines. A mixture of some clay and primarily limestone soil from the Kimmeridgian slops, farmed organically since 2009. Certified AB (organic) by Ecocert.
Making of: Grapes are hand harvested, sorted, and direct pressed. After settling, the must is kept cold for 10-15 days, then vinified in stainless steel to preserve the aromas and freshness of the grapes. Spontaneous fermentation takes place on indigenous yeasts in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks, where the wine is aged on fine lees for 8 months. The wine is filtered before bottling.
Personality: Fresh vineyard peach on the nose, balanced with aromas of white blossom. Fresh and vivacious, the finish is both floral and salty. Perfect for pairing with white meat or fish.
