Domaine BEAUTHOREY - Cuvée Orée - White - Biodynamics 2015 To vinify well and well, the essential thing is to put healthy grapes in vats at good maturity. And not to constrain or frame the fermentation processes unnecessarily, neither biologically (yeasts,…), nor chemically (sulphites,…), nor too mechanically.
Let it go, yes, but not so simple: Because wine is made up of 4 constituents whose maturities always differ more or less: stems, seeds, skins and juice. The art of vinification is to combine these 4 imperfect maturities with, as only tools, intuition, sensitivity, nose and experience!
More than fifteen different grape varieties and around ten mosaic plots from 4 to 77 years old — which moreover is in a swamped area — lead to very spread out harvests and very varied vinifications, so that the range of vintages is relatively wide.
Here is the Domaine! A biodynamic vineyard carried out by a master hand by this great winegrower. Both humble and precise in the development of its wines.
The Orée cuvée is a very pretty white, not heavy like some southern white wines. The grape varieties used in this cuvée are Clairette, Roussane, Rolle Bourboulenc and Grenache.
