Burgundy
\nThe wines from the communes of Rully, Mercurey, Givry and Montagny have previously stood in the shadow of the better-known appellations from C\u00f4te de Beaune and C\u00f4te de Nuits; – but that is precisely why there are particularly good purchases to be made from here. In many blind tastings, the quality has proven to be on par with even great wines from the C\u00f4te d’Or, – and the price is in a much more sympathetic range! The town of Rully, together with Nuits-St.-Georges, was the first in 1822 to produce Cr\u00e9mant using the M\u00e9thode Traditionelle \u2013 copied from the Champagne district.
\nDomaine Albert Sounit<\/p>\n
Maison Albert Sounit is located in the charming wine town of Rully in Burgundy. The winery has been Danish-owned since 1993. The house makes a wide range of Burgundy wines: Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne as well as white and red Burgundy from the C\u00f4te Chalonnaise. The house’s motto is quality above all else, and the grapes for all the house’s wines are harvested manually (by hand). Only the natural yeast of the grapes is used. The white and red wines are aged in French oak barrels, and bottling takes place without filtration. In 2005, Maison Albert Sounit took over the Domaine Bernollin vineyard in Montagny. The vineyard currently covers 12 ha. vineyards and a fully modernized cuverie. Since 2005, all of Sounit’s wines have been vinified at Domaine Bernollin \u2013 both grapes from own fields and purchased grapes.<\/p>\n
The house’s Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne Ros\u00e9 Ch\u00e2taignier is made exclusively from grapes from Sounit’s own vineyard: Domaine Bernollin: approx. 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot-Beurot (variant of Pinot-Gris) and 20% Gamay. Most of the grapes come from the Ch\u00e2taignier plot, which takes its name from the large real chestnut trees that grow around the field. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with the grapes’ own yeast. The wine’s fine and persistent bubbles originate from the second fermentation, which took place in the bottle (M\u00e9thode Traditionelle) and the Cr\u00e9mant is aged on its lees for more than 24 months before disgorging. The law stipulates that Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne must age for at least 9 months before disgorging, and thanks to the almost 3 times longer aging time, Albert Sounit’s Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne Ros\u00e9 “Ch\u00e2taignier” has a very fine and persistent mousse. During disgorging (removal of sediment, dosage and insertion of a stopper), a small dosage (0.5%) is added.<\/p>\n
Vinification: M\u00e9thode Traditionelle. 24 months storage with sediment before disgorging.
\nTasting notes: Beautiful delicate “salmon colored” ros\u00e9. Fine little pearls and soft mousse. Delicate fruit with fine harmony between fruit and finesse.
