Alice and Olivier De Moor - Bel Air and Clardy 2020
Domaine Alice and Olivier De Moor is located in Courgis , in Burgundy . Alice is from the Jura and met Olivier in a large estate in Chablis where he was in charge of the vines. They are both graduates in oenology, and with their knowledge, they started their estate by planting three plots of Chablis in 1989, while still being employed elsewhere. From 1995, they devoted themselves entirely to their 4 hectares of vines, which they enlarged in 1996 by buying a large plot in Chitry. Alice and Olivier De Moor have been working their vines organically since 2005. In 2002, they replaced the large harvest bins with small crates where the grapes are not crushed by their own weight. In 2007, they built a large cellar with high ceilings, allowing them to do all their cellar work by gravity. In 2008, they bought a second-hand pneumatic press to process the grapes as gently as possible. There is no sulfur used during the harvest or during the vinification. Since 2009, Alice and Olivier de Moor have also created a trading activity “Le Vendangeur Masqué”.
Bel Air et Clardy is made from Chardonnay from the 2 plots of the same name. The grapes are gently pressed then fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, in stainless steel vats. The wine goes through a malolactic fermentation and is aged on the lees without stirring in old barrels .
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
