Bourgogne Passetoutgrain „Les Vercherres“ Sans Sulfite Ajouté AOC 2022 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Bourgogne Passetoutgrain „Les Vercherres“ Sans Sulfite Ajouté AOC 2022 1500ml Magnum by Rougeot Père & Fils

Colour & Appearance

Luminous ruby red with cherry-coloured reflections, of medium intensity. The magnum bottle promises exceptional freshness and ageing potential.

Nose

Vibrant, unfiltered fruit aromatics: fresh strawberries, raspberries and sour cherries dominate, accompanied by floral notes of violet. Subtle hints of pepper and damp earth bear witness to organic viticulture. The sulphite-free vinification lends the wine a particular directness and authenticity.

Palate

Juicy and remarkably quaffable. The Gamay component brings crisp red berries and a playful lightness, whilst the Pinot Noir provides structure and silky texture. Refreshing acidity, delicate tannins and an alcohol content of just 12% make this Passetoutgrain the perfect everyday companion. The absence of sulphiting reveals itself in the pure, unadulterated fruit expression.

Finish

Medium length with lingering cherry fruit and a subtle mineral note. Refreshing and unpretentious, inviting the next sip.

Terroir & Origin
