The only variety of Burgundy red wines: the delicate Pinot Noir.
Terroir
The Bourgogne rouge is grown at an altitude of 350 meters on the slope facing les Hautes-Côtes on the locality named La Grande Corvée de Bully. The soil here is marly with a shallow top-layer.
Origine du nom
Bully was an ancient property, no longer existing, which at the time belonged to Abbaye de Maizières. The term Bulliaco from 925, derived from “bubbles”, refers to the existence of a gushing spring (Fontaine) close by. La corvée, a term used under the feudal system, designates the days of work owed by the tenants to the monks of the Abbey.
Vinification
We aim to obtain fruity wines, rich in blended tannins, signature of well ripened grapes. We bring in the grapes in small crates for careful sorting in the winery. The fermentation lasts 15 days with pigeages, punching down of the cap, allowing the wine to soak up the richness and the colour from the grape-skins before pressing.. Racking by the means of a bellow eliminates the need for a pump. All these precautions limit handling of the wine, thus preserving all the richness. Ageing takes place in barrels during 15 months.
Notes de dégustation
