Clear and brilliant with golden reflections. Good density – fruity on the palate with notes of Accacia flower and peach. Saline expression of minerality on the finish. Elegant and fresh.
Laurent Cognard is the third generation of his family to grow grapes in Burgundy, but he is the first to bottle his own wine. Since starting in 1997 with 3.3 acres of his family’s Les Bassets (translating to “rather low”) vineyard, he has built the family domaine up to 26 acres. Farming with future generations in mind, he is certified sustainable and transitioning to organic. With an east-southeast aspect this vineyard gets relief from the late afternoon sun and is able to retain more freshness.
Laurent makes the wine with traditional Burgundian methods such as using only the native yeasts to ferment the wine in open-topped oak fermenters, but he breaks with tradition by aging the wine in barrels that are more than twice the usual size to retain more freshness and minerality and uses less that 10% new oak so that oak flavors don’t dominate. The intense flavors and acidity of this wine would pair well with intensely flavored cream sauces.
