2022

100% Melon de Bourgogne. Pépière has vines in a couple of different zones of the cru of Monnières-St.-Fiacre (including the lieu-dit of Gras Moutons which is separately bottled). The site for this bottling features 60-year-old vines on fine, sandy, gneiss-rich soils. 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. Monnières-St. Fiacre is aged on its lees for 2-2.5 years and bottled without filtration.
