Bruno Duchêne - Corpo Maltesse 2020
Domaine Bruno Duchêne is located in Banyuls, on the Côte Vermeille in Roussillon. It was created by Bruno Duchêne in 2002. Before, Bruno Duchêne was a distributor of wild mushrooms in the Loire Valley. He owns 4 hectares spread over 4 plots in Banyuls and Collioure. The vines are cultivated organically, and due to the ideal climate of the region, Bruno does on average only 3 sulfur treatments per year (which is low) and as the odium is not a problem either, the copper is never used. The wines ferment spontaneously in vats, then are racked in barrels for aging.
Corpo Maltesse Rouge is made from Pinot Noir harvested in the Côte Chalonnaise, the vines of which are 30 years old. The vinification is done with whole bunches in wooden vats. Aging takes place in Burgundy pieces. The production for this vintage is 530 bottles.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
