Burgundy (Mixed) Flashcards
Which Fixin 1er
overlaps into the village of Brochon?
Clos de la Perrière
What was the last vintage under the Clair-Daü label?
no wines were produced after 1983, estate was split up in 1985.
Asian Fruit fly (Drosophila Suzukii) affects grapes how? Which vintages did it have an impact in Burgundy?
It lays eggs under the skin of the grape during vérasion, making it almost impossible to detect. It takes only a day for the eggs to hatch and maggots may feed the inside the fruit as a result. The first indication of their presence may be the vinegary smell of rot. 2004 and 2014.
What producer makes wine from the vineyard “Petit Cazetiers?”
Domaine Dominique Gallois (only producer I can find, but doesn’t seem to be a monopole).
Tell me about Rouchottes Chambertin:
This grand cru sits higher up on the slope, above Mazis. The slope is steep here. The soil is like Chambertin, with white oolites, yet the wine style is like Mazis, but with more mineral and struture. Can be austere in its youth. Shared between eight owners, the biggest was Thomas Bassot, which sold it’s holding in 1976 to Rousseau, Mugneret Gibourg, and MIchel Bonnefond whose parcel is farmed by Roumier.
Describe Morey Saint Denis Soils:
Simlair soils to Gevreys Grand Cru slope: Bajocian limestone layers mixed together with Bathonian at the highter levels. Ostrea Acuminata marl mixes with whiteoolites to form shallow, well-drained soils in the grand cru belt.
Which three separate Abbey’s planted vineyards at the beginning of the middle ages in Morey Saint Denis?
Cistercians in 1120 CE, Sisters of Notre Dame de Tart in 1184 CE, and the Collegiale with Clos Saint Denis. The Abbey’s maintained ownership until the French Revolution.
Why are most Morey Saint Denis 1er crus blended together instead of bottled as separate vineyards?
On average, the 1ers are very small in size (less than 3 ha). Producers dont make enough single vineyard wine so they blend multiple vineyards selling as Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru.
What is unique about the Lieui-Dit ‘Monts Luisants’ classification?
encompasses all three classifications: village, 1er, and grand cru within its 11.3 ha boundary.
