100% Melon de Bourgogne. Gras Moutons is the name of a lieu-dit on a windy, south-facing slope in the cru of Monnières-St. Fiacre. The soils are gravelly and sandy with little clay, rich in decomposed amphibolites and gneiss. The vines are 20 to 70 years old. The farming is certified-biodynamic. All vineyard work including harvest is manual. As for all Pépière wines, the whole bunches are direct-pressed very gently. The juice settles naturally in steel tanks for 12 hours. It is fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. The young wine is moved by gravity to large underground tanks of glass-lined cement. Gras Moutons is aged on its lees for 9 months and bottled without filtration.
