Bourgogne Rouge, Michel Sarrazin 2020 |
The Sarrazin brothers are known for making spectacular high-altitude Cote Chalonnaise Burgundy from the village of Jambles, a tiny hamlet just outside of Givry that is 300 meters above sea level. The brothers have gained a reputation over the last decade for being meticulous stewards of their high-altitude vineyards around Givry, Mercurey and Maranges.
They craft traditional wines that show a clarity of terroir not common in the region, with all of the fruit de-stemmed and extraction kept to a minimum. All of the wines are aged in barrique exclusively from the famed tonnelier Francois Freres and are bottled unfined and unfiltered. These are pure and mineral driven wines that deliver, textured and balanced Pinot Noir.
