Domaine du Vieux College "Les Longeroies" Marsannay 2020
(Burgundy, France)

About the Wine:

“A Certified Organic Gevrey-Chambertin lookalike from Domaine du Vieux Collège? This is a screaming Burgundy deal to purchase by the truckload!”

The Vieux Collège estate is a family run vineyard for 7th generations. In the year 2006, Eric Guyard took over the reins of the business, upholding the traditions of his ancestors and bringing forth the quality and expression of terroir. The surface extends over 25 hectares through the village of Marsannay, Fixin, and Gevrey Chambertin.

Eric keeps a watchful eye on the grapes to determine when they have reached their optimal maturity. The plots are then all harvested manually. The perfect ripeness of the grapes is a guarantee of the quality of all the great Burgundy wine they produce each vintage. The Vieux College vineyards are fully organic, and raised without the use of any pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. Organic copper sulfate will be used only to combat mildew, and only as needed. The domain is certified organically farming by ECOCERT since the year 2014. A high level of respect is given to the estate and to the wine as it is vinified and aged.
