Les Christines 2019

100% Roussanne from the south-facing Les Filles vineyard. The 25-year-old vines grow on a thin layer of clayey limestone soil and are cultivated biodynamically. In the cellar, Gilles Berlioz practices sensitive crystallization and ferments mainly in glass fibre balloons, with ageing taking place in round, horizontal concrete eggs. Due to the round shape of the eggs, the wine is constantly in motion during fermentation, as if a battonage were being carried out. However, too long would make the wine too intense and the wines are bottled the following spring. However, the relatively short maturation makes the wines appear powerful and dense in a fascinating way. Les Christines 2019 is the most intense wine from Domaine Partage. Full-bodied, dense and creamy, lifted by a vibrant freshness. White flowers, honey and ripe peaches are immediately perceptible. Like all natural wines from Domaine Partage, unfiltered and bottled with a low dose of sulphur.
