Bourgogne Rouge Bastian Wolber 2022

Bastian Wolber acquired the grapes for his first "Burgundy" wine in the area of ​​Maconnais and the Cotes du Couchois. In both parcels we are talking about vineyards planted in the 70s but with a morphological difference between the two: in the Maconnais and more precisely in the village of Plottes the substratum is mainly sandy limestone, while in the Cote Chalonnaise area the soil is rich in iron resting on a layer of granite.

The bunches were picked by hand and vinified separately. This was followed by a semi-carbonic maceration of about a week in small covers without the addition of CO2. The alcoholic fermentation begins by lightly crushing the bunches which are then inoculated with a pied de cuve. The mass was lightly trodden before the fermentation was finished and the cap was wetted from time to time. This process lasted about two weeks after which we proceeded with pressing in a vertical press. The malolactic fermentation took place in wooden vats.

Aging in 228L and 350L wooden barrels lasted about a year and a half. The wine was neither filtered nor clarified. No sulfur was added and the total sulfur remained below 10mg/l.
