Joseph 2021 - Domaine de la Chappe

Joseph - Domaine de la Chappe 

Joseph by Domaine de la Chappe is a red wine produced with pinot noir grapes that proves to be fresh, pleasant, vibrant and mineral. Maceration of whole bunches before the start of yeast activity, spontaneous fermentation in truncated cone-shaped oak vats and aging in used barriques for 10 months. An excellent Pinot Noir throughout the meal and on any informal occasion where you want to make a good impression on your guests.

Service

It is recommended to taste it at a temperature of 16/18 ° in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairing

A wine for the whole meal, from pasta with tomato sauce to escalopes with mushrooms, to try with a Fassona tartare.

Winery: Domaine de la Chappe

Domaine de la Chappe is located in Tonnerre, a small town near Auxerre, in Northern Burgundy. A new area from all points of view, just think that AOC Tonnerre was only created in 2006 and is certainly less known than nearby Chablis. The Domaine is now managed by Vincent Thomas who took over from his father who, together with his wife, took care of the cultivation of wheat and worked a few hectares of vineyards in a conventional way. Vincent continues to grow cereals, but above all he has transformed the vineyards he owns, approximately 2.5 hectares in total, into organic. In his vineyards we find Aligoté and Chardonnay and he often buys grapes from other natural winemakers in the Chablis, Petit Chablis and Beaujolais areas. In the cellar, Vincent works with a "hands-free" approach, avoiding any form of intervention. This is reflected in his wines, which are characterized by great freshness, roundness and floral notes, which have gathered followers from the world that loves organic products and which have particular and not exactly common labels.
