Cheverny "Rouillon" - 2022 - Thierry Puzelat
Clos Tue-Boeuf

50% Pinot Noir and 50% Gamay, grown organically and planted on a soil of flinty clay. The vines are around 20 years old, and they are co-planted, meaning that all grape varieties are harvested and vinified at the same time on this 1.9-hectare parcel. Viticulture and vinification are 100% natural, harvesting is done by hand of course. Low extraction, soft pressing, this cuvée is matured 9 months in demi-muid barrels. This is a second bottling, done at the estate on the 16th of May 2023. Without any fining or filtration, no added sulphur.
