Domaine Françoise André - Les Vaumuriens - Pommard 2022
Domaine Françoise André is located in Beaune, in the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy . It was founded in 1983 by Michel and Françoise André . Following a succession of purchases of vines from the best terroirs of the Côte de Beaune, the vineyard now extends over 11 hectares covering 16 climates. Lauriane , Françoise André's daughter-in-law, is in charge of operations. The vines are grown using certified organic farming . The team is minimally interventionist in the vat room in order to let the terroir express itself in each vintage.
Pommard Les Vaumuriens is made from Pinot Noir whose vines are 55 years old, grown on clay-limestone terroir. The harvest is carried out manually with careful sorting of the bunches. The harvest is destemmed, 10 to 15% of the stalks can be kept depending on their maturity. The grapes are put into pre-fermentation maceration for around 4 days, followed by daily punching down and pumping over. The wine is aged in 228 liter barrels , 30% of which are new.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
