As the saying goes in Burgundy, if you look at the person behind the wines, you will get an idea of the style in your glass. This could not be truer for Domaine Borgeot, whose wines exhibit the calm and measured restraint of Pascal, balanced with the exuberance and liveliness of Laurent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eThe estate comprises 24 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards in Bouzeron, Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. Domaine Borgeot’s wines are fermented in a combination of temperature-controlled, stainless-steel vats and oak barrels, creating complexity while retaining primary fruit aromas. The Bourgogne Blanc Côte d'Or is a blend of three parcels, two in Chassagne-Montrachet and the third in Puligny-Montrachet. The wine is fermented in stainless steel before ageing in oak barrels, 15% of which is new. The brothers use 20-25% new oak for the ‘villages’ wines and 33% for the 1er Crus to lend additional weight and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eThe Santenay Blanc ‘Clos de la Comme Dessus’, hails from a lieu-dit close to the Chassagne border and displays a core of expressive yellow stone fruit. The Santenay 1er Cru ‘La Comme’ has great texture and marked salinity, and the 1er Cru ‘Les Gravières’ is defined by a lovely freshness balancing the toasty richness of the oak. The Santenay Rouge Vieilles Vignes is sourced from 80-year-old Pinot Noir vines, producing a wine of intense, lively red fruit and supple tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eLocated close to Meursault, the Puligny-Montrachet ‘Les Grands Champs’ is aged for 11 months in French oak barrels, 25% new, creating rich intensity on the palate. The Puligny-Montrachet ‘Les Meix’ lies on the Chassagne-Montrachet side of the appellation, 25 metres from the Grand Crus, creating a powerful expression with precise mineral tension. Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Champs Gains’ is located at the top of the Puligny slope and produces wines defined by a marked freshness. The fruit for the Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes comes from 60-year-old vines giving beautifully concentrated and well-defined flavours to the final wine. The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Clos St. Jean’ is aged for 11 months in 100% new French oak and marries bright citrus fruit character with a hazelnutty richness. All the wines are perfectly balanced with consistently well-integrated oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vineyards lie in Santenay, one of the most southerly wine-producing villages of the Côte de Beaune. The soils are largely comprised of clay limestone marl. The Pinot Noir vines are on average 80 years olf and produce low yields of grapes packed full of flavour. The vineyards are farmed sustainably following the ‘lutte raisonnée’ principles, meaning they avoid the use of chemicals and pesticides wherever possible. All harvesting is done by hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiPaper-root MuiAccordion-root accordion_accordion__I9cut Mui-expanded MuiAccordion-rounded MuiPaper-elevation1 MuiPaper-rounded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-root MuiCollapse-entered\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiCollapse-wrapperInner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"region\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiAccordionDetails-root\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003eThe 2021 vintage was a difficult year in Burgundy. After a mild winter and a cold spell in spring, temperatures rose significantly to summer levels during late March-early April. This caused the vines to bud earlier than usual, which left fragile buds vulnerable. During early April, there was a sudden drop in temperature, with extremes of -8ºC. Temperatures were warm during the summer, and flowering took place in July. Substantial soil water reserves allowed the grapes to ripen slowly at their own pace and recover from earlier vine stress due to the harsh conditions. Despite being one of the smallest vintages ever in Burgundy, it offers a very nice and subtle representation of each site and the wines are characterised by freshness and great finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUpon arrival at the winery, the hand-harvested grapes are carefully sorted and then destemmed. The vinification process is a blend of traditional Burgundian and modern techniques. The grapes are cooled before fermentation, which takes place in open vats for 14 to 18 days. Pigéage and pump overs take place daily. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 11 months - 15% in new oak barrels and 85% in one to five-year-old barrels. The wine was bottled at the Domaine at the end of August.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBright ruby in colour. On the nose the wine has notes of ripe cherry, raspberry and blackberry married with hints of spice and toast from the time in oak. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied, with lively acidity, fine tannins and a lingering finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wine Tasting Adventure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56572591309178,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/4297\/9770\/files\/RougeVieillesVignes__250x500_02ae016d-8970-4326-8a64-71f3db2acc23.png?v=1770732917","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-ta.co.uk\/products\/2021-domaine-borgeot-santenay-rouge-vieilles-vignes-liberty","provider":"Wine Tasting Adventure","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
