100% Melon de Bourgogne. A few years ago, Pépière added 4 hectares in the Gras Moutons lieu-dit (in the cru of Monnières-St. Fiacre) to their holdings. 2022 is the first bottling of these new parcels. The playful "sheep's repose" name is a nod to its longer (14-month) lees aging vs. the usual shorter (9-month) aging of their classic Gras Moutons. Just like Gras Moutons, Repos du Mouton comes from sandy and pebbly gneiss-based soils with little clay. The farming is in conversion from organic to certified-biodynamic. The vineyard work including harvest is manual. The whole bunches are pressed very gently and the juice settled naturally in steel tanks overnight. The must is fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and a small amount of sulfur. The wine is moved by gravity to underground cement tanks, where it ages on the lees for 14 months. It is bottled without filtration or any additional sulfur.
