Clos Saron Home Vineyard - 2014 - Saron et Gideon Beinstock

Clos Saron’s Home Vineyard is a one-hectare parcel of vines, planted exclusively with Pinot Noir. The vines are ungrafted and cultivated organically and were planted in 1979 and 1999 on volcanic soil over a decomposed granite bedrock at an altitude of 490 metres. Sheep, ewes and chickens graze between the vine rows, and the soil is fertilized with organic compost. The grapes are harvested by hand, and the yields are kept low. The vinification is natural and without additives, including maceration of whole grape bunches for nine days, and maturation for 15 months on fine lees in barrels that have seen several wines. Bottled by gravity, without fining or filtration, and just a low dose of sulphur to protect the wine. 1512 bottles produced and numbered.
