Description
William Friedberg, an American importer and admirer of Burgundy wines, and a buyer at Hospices auctions for over 20 years donated a parcel of AOC Santenay in April 2010. Through this generous gesture, he wished to pay tribute to his late wife, Christine, also a great lover of Burgundy.
Vinification
FermentationThe grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small crates to prevent the bunches from settling. For our red wines, the grapes are taken to the winery, passed through a sorting table and destemmed before being loaded into the vinification tank. Immediately, we proceed to a so-called “pre-fermentation cold maceration” which, by cooling the tank to 10°C, optimizes the extraction of the natural aromas of the grapes and oxygenates the musts. We favor long vatting times with daily punching down for 8 to 10 days to facilitate the extraction of tannins and colors. Finally, the final maceration lasts 3 to 5 days during which the must macerates gently at a controlled temperature to gain finesse and aroma.
Elevage16 to 18 months in oak barrels
FûtsHospices wines are auctioned in new oak barrels, selected from a number of coopers in accordance with specifications defined by Ludivine Griveau, Hospices régisseuse.
