Bonnardot Hautes Côtes de Beaune ‘Sur Evelle’ 2021
€30.00
The Hautes Côtes are higher than the vineyards of the Côte and have therefore benefited from higher temperatures in recent years. The plot slopes steeply and is located above a rock face called “Évelle”. Only 800 bottles of the “Sur Évelle” are made annually.
Technical specifications:
Soil: clay on a stony limestone surface
Exposition: Southeastern
Vineyards: 30 year old vines; 0.4 ha
Vinification: Hand harvested and sorted. Fermentation partially in whole clusters, long maceration.
Maturation: 12 months on barrique. The wine is bottled unfiltered after natural sedimentation.
Tasting note:
A juicy and straightforward style. Delicious ripe cherries with some custard and cream. Very smooth tannins. This is a wonderfully hedonistic glass with lots of drinking pleasure.
Description
Bonnardot is the ultimate expression of the Côte de Beaune. Fruits, minerality, low pH and precision always there in every glass. The brothers Ludovic and Émilien only grow about 10 hectares between Santenay and Pommard. They also have some vineyards just outside the Côte d’Or, which are interesting and off the beaten track. Of each plot they only make a couple of hundred bottles. Including some wines on which they use some alternative techniques. Those are playful and edgy and show the directions Burgundy can also turn to.
The domain
The Bonnardot domain was founded in 1981 in Bonnencontre by mother Élisabeth. She had a modern view on viticulture. She studied oenology and did an apprenticeship with organic wine master Jules Chauvet. Ludovic took over the vineyards from his mother in 2005. He shared the love for organic viticulture with his mother and continued the trend that Élisabeth had started. Today, the domain is entirely biodynamic, although not certified. In 2006 his brother Émilien joined the winery.
