Description
This natural and organic Carignan has a beautiful deep purple red color. The wine exalts concentrated aromas of red fruits with hints of blackberries and cherries. As for the mouth, the wine is very fresh, round with a beautiful fruity finish. We are in the same category as the VDF Grenache but with a slightly different aromatic palette, due to the grape variety.
Maxime Crotet is a brand newcomer to the world of wine
since it markets its very first vintage in 2022, which it vinified in
2021. Maxime Crotet is a pure Burgundian who was immersed
in the world of wine and gastronomy during his childhood.
From an early age, he was interested in this world and more
particularly in the different methods of vinification. He began
his training with Frédéric Cossard, winegrower in Saint-Romain
for almost 10 years. There he learned the management of
the vines in organic farming, as well as the methods of natural vinification, with breeding without sulphur. Convinced of
this viticulture and vinification method that respects the environment, the product and the terroir, he decided to start his
own business and vinify his own wines in Beaune. To start, he
brought organic grapes from the Rhône Valley and the Jura
back to his winery. The harvests of red Burgundy being unfortunately very low in 2021, he could only produce a few Pinot
Noir from the Côtes de Nuits. Building on his success in his first
year, he intends to expand his trade next year, especially by
offering more Burgundy. Maxime Crotet is one of the rising stars
of natural wines from Burgundy and France.
