Ploussard "Au fil des générations" - 2021 - Tony Bornard

2019 was a frost-plagued year, and more than 90% of the estate’s harvest was lost. To make a single Ploussard wine would require blending the remaining grapes from every one of the estate’s parcels. This cuvée is the product of vines planted by four generations of the same family. Harvested by hand, the yields were obviously miniscule. As it was a warm vintage, the grapes spent less than a week in the vat, in order to produce a well-balanced wine with potential for ageing. Matured in barrels, bottled without fining, filtration or sulphur.
