Julien Altaber - SEXTANT - Po à Po 2019
Julien Altaber, born in Auvergne, grew up in the Mâconnais in the south of Burgundy. He naturally moved into viticulture at the age of 16 and continued his training in a large trading house in Beaune. In 2002, he harvested alongside Dominique Derain in Saint-Aubin, who finally pushed him in 2007 to buy his first Pinot Noir grapes. Without any equipment, he uses Dominique's infrastructure to make his first cuvée. In 2015, and after an equipment and acquisition phase, he owned half a hectare of vines. All the grapes come from vines cultivated without weedkillers or synthetic products. All the wines are vinified and aged without sulphites with very little intervention.
Po à Po is made from Aligoté from a plot on the heights of Pommard. The grapes macerate on their skins before fermentation to produce this orange wine.
Grape variety: 100% Aligoté
