BOURGOGNE ROUGE 2008, DOMAINE BALLORIN

TASTING NOTES

This Bourgogne Rouge comes from three separate parcels and is a great introduction to the philosophy at Domaine Ballorin. The yields of just 35 hl/ha and average vine age of 50 years are highly unusual for a wine at this level and the result is a wine of great purity, finesse and surprising concentration.

PRODUCER NOTES

Fabienne and Giles Ballorin run this relatively new set-up, located on the border of Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey-St-Denis and comprised of a number of small parcels in relatively unheralded appellations. What the domaine lacks in famous terroir it certainly makes up for with dedication and commitment to quality - everything is organically or biodynamically farmed and yields here are low, very low indeed.
Allen Meadows (Burghound) said "I was tipped off to the already impressive quality emanating from their relatively modest appellations" and when we went to taste at the domaine last year we were massively impressed by the potential at Domaine Ballorin.
