Il s’agit de la plus vieille vigne du domaine. Elle appartenait à la maman de Céline et a été conduite en bio depuis 1970. Son nom, Les Chênes, est dû à sa vinification en fûts mais surtout à l’ancien nom cadastral de la parcelle.
DÉGUSTATION
La robe est or clair, brillante, constellée de micro-bulles. Le nez est intense, sur des notes de pommes rôties, de cédrat confit et de pralin. La bouche contraste par sa vivacité et sa tension, avec une fine acidité citrique qui vous happe dès l'attaque et ne vous lâche plus. Elle est enrobée d'une matière ronde, fraîche, souple, dotée d'une aromatique mûre proche de celle du nez. Un léger perlant renforce encore la fraîcheur et la vivacité du vin. La finale prolonge la tension de la bouche tout en concentrant la matière, la soulignant d'une noble amertume sur l'écorce d'agrume, avec toujours cette acidité citronnée qui pousuit sa route.
À garder 3 ou 4 ans et déguster sans trop de fraicheur (14 °C) en aérant le vin avant de servir (ouvrir la bouteille à l’avance ou carafer).
Nota : cette cuvée était jusqu'à maintenant en appellation Mâcon-Loché. Pour des raisons certainement commerciales - plus faciles à vendre à l'export ? - elle est maintenant en AOC Bourgogne. Mais les vignes et le contenu sont les mêmes.
What is an author wine?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
