Burgundy white Alexa
Philosophy
Our white Burgundy, with its brilliant gold colour, combines a fresh, discreet, mellow woody nose with a hint of mineral. Opens with overtones of good maturity with an expression of white flowers, hawthorn, and pears.
Pleasant, refined, balanced, and taut on the palate. Good length and a sensation of freshness, thanks to our know-how.
Winemaking & Cask ageing
• Direct pressing
• Vinification at low temperature (50-57°F / 10-14°C) for 20 days
• 100% aged in old 228L oak barrels for 5 months
• Stirring of the fine lees to prevent oxidation and remove SO2 during aging
• Stabilization of the entire volume in stainless steel tanks for 2 months
• Bottling under CO2
• Storage of bottles in the cellar before marketing
