Domaine Alain Burguet
This is Jean-Luc’s third vintage in sole charge of the domaine, after his brother Eric left. Jean-Luc harvests later than most, 27th September, prepared to risk rain to gain full flavour maturity. He made 22hl/ha and harvested at about 11.5%. A double trie, or sorting, ensured only the heathiest grapes entered the fermentation tanks. As always, the grapes are 100% destemmed. He makes a light ploughing in spring but thereafter lets the natural vegetation grow all year round. He thinks this vegetation helped absorb the high rainfall in 2024.
