FEATURES
🏰 Antoine Petitprez represents a dynamic new generation in Burgundy, renowned for his research into lunar influences on vines and his role as an organic and biodynamic consultant for prestigious domaines such as Meo Camuzet and Domaine Dujac. In exchange for his expertise, he gains access to exceptional old-vine fruit (40-84 years old) from prime parcels. His winemaking philosophy in the cellar is minimalist, featuring 100% whole-cluster fermentation, long maceration periods, manual punch-downs by foot, and minimal to no sulfur. Wines are bottled unfiltered and aged in old casks (over 10 years old) to ensure the terroir, not oak, dominates the profile. His wines are characterized by their lightness, elegance, profound concentration, and vibrant energy.
The 2022 Côte de Nuits-Villages vintage yielded wines with bright, fresh, and immediate red fruit, abundant energy, and a pleasant mineral finish. They are described as supple, suave, pure, lively, and precise.
This wine typically displays a pale to medium ruby hue, with aromas of red cherry, strawberry, spice, and earth. The palate offers soft yet textured red fruit on the attack, complemented by spice, earth, mild tannins, and gentle acidity. The finish shows increased intensity and density, with heavier fruit notes of pomegranate, black tea, earth, spice, and minerality. Domaine Jean-Marc Millot's 2022 Le Vaucrain (also 100% whole bunch, no sulfur) is noted for its dense purple color, dark raspberry, slight nuttiness, pronounced salinity, low acidity yet cheerful style, and ripe raspberry and dark cherry flavors. 【 Biodynamic consultant crafting profoundly concentrated, energetic, and precise wines with 100% whole-cluster fermentation and no added sulfur 】
