Elegant and well structured, the aromas, complexity and softness of this wine come from a higher quality Bourgogne Blanc than most others. Can be served as an aperitif or pair well with classic Burgundian cuisine: Eggs in red wine sauce, terrine or duck or salad nicoise.
Vinification: The must goes through direct pressing and is fermented in a cask at a low temperature. The wine spends 18 months in 50% new French oak barrels and one month in stainless steel tanks before bottling. The wine does not see any filtration.
Maison Lou Dumont is a relatively new negociant house set up originally in Nuits Saint Georges before moving Gevrey-Chambertin in 2000 by Koji Nakada and his Korean wife Jae Hwa Park. Koji has been a sommelier in before pursuing his dream in Beaune learning and working with Cote d’Or domains.
Wine Making Style
Using only natural yeasts, fermentations occur naturally, with minimal remontage (pumping over) if any, any very little punch downs. The fermentation takes place in steel tanks, but there still remain a few wooden tanks for experimental purposes. The wines then spend 12 to 24 months depending on the cuvee in oak, of which 15% is new for regional wines, 30% for village wines, 50% for Premier Crus and 70% for the Grand Crus.
