Winemaking Notes
It is important to point out that this vintage is the result of a blend of two different innovative vinification techniques. The first, called flash release, consists of heating the grapes to 85°C before pressing them directly and fermenting, a method comparable to that of white wine-making. This operation gives structure, density and colour. The other technique consists of a heated prefermentation maceration (the grapes are heated to 60°C for 12 hours before being fermented for 5 to 6 days.) This allows us to bring out the best aromatic potential of the grapes.
Blason de Bourgogne
The Union of Blasons de Bourgogne was formed when four of the largest cooperatives in Burgundy joined forces, to pool resources and expertise and bring together Burgundian wine-growers from the various appellations of Burgundy. In 2002, they launched the hugely successful Blason de Bourgogne wine brand, which has since gone from strength to strength. In 2006 a fifth co-operative, Cave des Hautes-Côtes, joined the Union.
The aim of the Blason de Bourgogne brand was to make Burgundy understandable to consumers; the name Burgundy is synonymous with quality wine for many consumers, but few have a proper understanding of the different villages, vineyards, producers, negotiants and cooperatives.
The styles of the wines are in keeping with tradition - the aim is not to make New World style wines, but to offer consistent quality across all the wines in the range. Quality is paramount, as the Blason group knew that keeping their customers was as important as attracting them in the first place.
