Vignon - L’Aura des Marquises 2014

Made only the best years. Wine worked with natural yeasts, not chaptalized. 100% of wines elaborated in oak barrels, with regular stirring of the fine lees for 9 months. No fining or filtration. Natural cold stabilization.

• Blending: 50% Pinot Noir & 50% Chardonnay.
• Vintage: Pur 2014
• Dosage: 3g sugar per liter, traditional liquor.
• Origin: From a blending of the best plots of Grand Cru Verzenay. Plots aging over 40 years old on average.

Tasting: Resonance of the power of a terroir Depth of a clay-limestone soil and choice of blend. A vintage when Stéphane Vignon harvested 10 day later than his fellow vintners in the area in search of pushing maturity. Yet this 50/50 Chardonnay/Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru Verzenay is aerial and lifted with floral veil and fresh peaches, a hint of yellow plums. Not autolytic, but almost Burgundian by its fine toast. With 2,5g/l dosage including 1g/l of RS combined with ripe, broad acidity, the mouthfeel is soft and layered with caressing creamy mousse, yet vivified by aromatic freshness with citrusy dynamics and notes of citron fruit, tangerine peel.

Food pairing: To be paired with crayfish, pan-fried shrimps, lobster, or carpaccio of
Scallops.
