Julien Altaber - SEXTANT Red - Coteaux Bourguignons 2021
Julien Altaber , born in Auvergne, grew up in the Mâconnais in the south of Burgundy . He naturally turned to viticulture at the age of 16 and continued his training in a large trading house in Beaune. In 2002, he carried out the harvest 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 a phase of equipment and acquisition, he owns half a hectare of vines. All the grapes come from vines grown without weed killers or synthetic products. All wines are vinified and aged without sulphites with very little intervention.
The Coteaux Bourguignons d'Altaber is a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay . The harvest, harvested manually, is partially destemmed. Fermentation lasts 10 to 15 days with 2 to 3 pigeages. The grapes are pressed in a vertical wooden press for fermentation. The wine is aged on lees, in barrels without new wood.
Grapes: Pinot Noir, Gamay
