Grapes from 25-year-old vines on the outskirts of Peronne, Andrew presses them without sulphur dioxide and puts the juice into large barrels for natural fermentation. The wine lies there on its lees for seven months and then a light filtration before bottling.
Le Grappin began in 2011 following Andrew Nielsen's five-year journey working for some of the world's great Pinot Noir and Chardonnay artisans in California, Central Otago, Burgundy and the Yarra Valley. Our vision for Le Grappin is to seek out special sites in the over-looked, under-appreciated reaches of Burgundy. We seek out viticulteurs who tend their vines throughout the year with exceptional care and attention, to give the grapes the best opportunity to shine. Our job is to ensure the wine reaches it's true potential; working by hand, with small lots, giving each wine as much care and attention as our viticulteurs have paid to the vines. Our Du Grappin wines are a natural off-shoot from Le Grappin...vins de soif, made to be delicious, fun and refreshing. We source our grapes from the passionate and revolutionary growers in the under-rated Maconnais, Beaujolais and Rhone regions. We make them by hand in our ancient cuverie in the walls of Beaune, with as much care and attention as with our Le Grappin wines. The results are wines with vivacity and personality; a joy to drink.
