About Domaine Petitot 2018 Cotes de Nuits-Village, Terre Burgondes
Although Petitots have been farming in Burgundy for five generations, before the Domaine was founded they primarily grew grains. Hervé began working at the estate with his father in 1990 and took over in 1994 along with his wife Natalie who is a trained oenologist. They work together seamlessly to produce beautiful, vibrant Burgundies. In the vineyards the Petitots plow as frequently as possible to eliminate the need for herbicides, and use no insecticides. Hervé and Natalie believe that a wine is "photography of the year" in which it was grown so all their work is focused on allowing the terroir and the quality of the vintage to shine through.
45 year old vines, a blend of different plots of Côtes de Nuits-Villages on the hills of Corgoloin (7 acres); marl and chalky clay soils. 790 foot elevation. Destemmed. Indigenous yeast fermentation. 3 days cold maceration, 8-12 day fermentation in cement tanks. Cap is punched down twice a day to start, then pumping over to activate yeast. Matured 1 year in oak barrel, 15% new oak, the rest in 1-5 year old barrels. The wine is fined but not filtered. The name ‘Terres Burgondes’ comes from archeologists having found vestiges of the Petitot’s ancient ancestors the ‘Burgondes’ in one of the parcels.
