Benoit Delorme
Finding the words to convey soon 40 years of wine craftsmanship, having followed in the footsteps of the initiators of natural wines since 1993, and having chosen a decreasing way of life...
It's short and a lot. Because assuming to produce differently for the quality of life and for another sensation of the wine, in a Burgundy AOC, is swimming against the tide.
But for the nature that nourishes me, I transmit the taste of the fruit of diversity.
In the vineyards :
Biodynamics and herbal teas
Sulfur and copper
2 soil scrapings/year
Adding compost
In the basement :
Whole grapes vat,
or partially scratched by hand,
Hand pressed
Maturation from 6 to 30 months
Sometimes addition of sulphites during racking, several months before bottling.
But not sulphites at stake.
