Description
One bottle of Grand Vin de Bourgogne Nuits along with a hand-written note from Paul Conway explaining why he chose this wine. A gifted and experienced practitioner of non-interventionist winemaking, Dominique labors intensively to preserve and feature the purity and freshness of the fruit and the character of the terroirs he works with. His fermentations use only wild, natural yeasts and are allowed to go on until completed, sometimes many months. He uses little to no sulphur, preferring CO2 as an antioxidant that will not adversely affect the nature of the wine. He uses specially made barrels with hand-picked staves and leaves the wines on their lees without racking until bottling. The wines are never pumped, fined or filtered. They are bottled by hand. Most of the wines are aged 100% in new barrels. Some of the denser, richer wines are aged in 200% new oak, which means they are transferred to a second set of new barrels during their élevage. The end result is an amazing set of exquisite wines with tremendous complexity, elegant, supple textures, fabulous purity of aroma and fruit flavor and unbelievable length. It is an incredible experience to visit the cellars and share his passion for his children.
