La Petite Empreinte Côteaux Bourguignons "Mas a Tierra" Rouge

Domaine de la Petite Empreinte is a microscopic estate in Burgundy founded in 2020 by Mélissa Bazin and Romain De Moor. Romain is the son of Alice and Olivier De Moor, legendary natural winemakers in Chablis. Having trained at iconic estates like Domaine Labet in Jura and with producers in Ardèche, the duo applies elite natural winemaking principles to their own project. The name "Más a Tierra" (Spanish for "closer to land") refers to Robinson Crusoe Island, a playful nod to the extreme isolation of this tiny 0.4-hectare vineyard plot in Vincelottes, south of Auxerre. This wine showcases how the Kimmeridgian limestone soils of the Auxerrois region can produce extraordinarily fresh, mineral-driven, and elegant Pinot Noir.
