Domaine Doreau Pommard Les Vignots

"Les Vignots" has perfumed notes of red fruit and savory undergrowth. The finish is long and powerful. "Les Vignots" is the highest site in Pommard and, combined with the poor topsoil, provides a mineral, earthy element that balances the fruit. Domaine Doreau employs Guyot pruning and sometimes Royat cordon pruning, leaving only 8 eyes per stock to limit yield. Through strict disbudding the number of grapes is reduced. An early stripping allows for better aeration of the vines and better maturity. The harvest is done manually. Then the sorted and de-stemmed red grapes are placed in vats and ferment naturally for ten days, with pumping over then daily punching down and temperature control.
