Description
Xavier Forneret, a renowned 19th-century poet and writer from a family of notables who had lived in Beaune since the 16th century. The Cuvée comes from vines on the northern slopes of Savigny: Les Vergelesses face south and south-east.
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.
