Burgundy
En Gerlieus - 2022 - Talloulah et Hugo Mathurin
Domaine de Cassiopée
A real discovery and a rare gem, with a nose of citrus (from lemon sorbet to lemon curd!) and white fruits... The palate is intense, mineral, and chiselled, almost sharp, with a long finish and a hint of saltiness. A wine with fine ageing potential.

100% Aligoté, from 30- and 85-year-old vines planted on clay over limestone and facing north/northeast. Harvested by hand. The grapes are pressed directly, with almost no settling before transfer into barrels (the wine thus remains a bit cloudy), with 70% matured in barrels that have seen 3 to 10 wines and 30% in stoneware jars with little porosity. Bottled in December 2023 without fining or filtering, and 0.5 gram/liter of volcanic sulphur.
Talloulah et Hugo Mathurin
Talloulah Debourg and Hugo Mathurin, children of the 1994 vintage, studied oenology in Bordeaux. Yet if Bordeaux was far from their favourite wine, both were deeply drawn to Burgundy, where the winemaking philosophy closely matched their own. Hugo went to Domaine Roulot, then spent two years at Domaine Mugnier. As for Talloulah, she started at Clos de Tart and ended up with Marie-Thérèse...
