Winery | Lelarge-Pugeot's eight-hectare vineyard is spread over 42 distinct parcels in and around the Premier Cru village of Vrigny, at altitudes of 150 metres above sea level. The grapes for this cuvee come from a blend of four of the parcels from Vrigny Premier Cru, where the soils are sandy loam and calcareous marls. The Pinot Meunier vines are pruned according to the Cordon method, restricting the yields and concentrating the flavours. The vineyard is certified organic and uses biodynamic methods; it is ploughed by horse during the year to prevent soil compaction, allowing the top layers of soil access to oxygen and boosting the soil's overall health, vines and grapes. Grasses are planted between the rows to impart valuable nutrients to the soil. Hand harvested. |
