- PRODUCER NOTES
- FARMING & WINEMAKING NOTES
After mastering biodynamic farming and vinification at Valetin Zusslin, Alsace, Erwan Buchwalter found the perfect plots for his vinus vision in the Medieval village of Luecy, Savoie.
In 2022 he acquired 6.5 ha of the former Chateau de Lucey, 80% dedicated to the local Altesse grape and the remainder to Pinot Noir and Mondeuse. The plots were already certified Organic and now Erwan follows strict biodynamic principles that allow his vines to adapt to the changing climate and to produce wines of longevity. The wines are vinified in the ancient fortress of Lucey with no additives.
The Mondeuse grapes are from 30 year old vines, grown on parcels of stony limestone at 300m above sea level. The grapes are hand harvested and fermented naturally using indigenous yeasts. They are 100% de-stemmed with 50% macerated for 8 days and 50% macerated for 3 weeks. The wine is then aged with 85% in stainless steel and 15% in barrel, before bottling with no filtering or fining.
