ABOUT THIS WINE
The Maranges En Buliet 2018 from Domaine Des Rouges-Queues is a 100% Pinot Noir from the Maranges AOC in Burgundy, France. This wine originates from the 'En Buliet' parcel, the foundational vineyard for proprietors Isabelle and Jean-Yves Vantey, who established their domaine in 1998. The Vanteys are recognized as pioneers in the Maranges appellation, committed to organic and biodynamic farming practices and minimal intervention winemaking. The 'En Buliet' parcel itself is significant, featuring very old vines and clay-limestone soils. The 2018 vintage, known for its warm and dry conditions in Burgundy, likely contributes to a ripe and structured expression of this wine. The domaine's name, 'Rouges-Queues', is inspired by the local Black Redstart birds.

Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in open wooden vats, potentially including whole-bunch maceration for 10-15 days.
