Julien Crinquand - Les Canons Du Jean Le Arbois Rouge Pinot Ploussard 2022
Julien Crinquand Description
VINEYARD: A 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and Poulsard from parcels Les Bodines and Verleule, both located in Arbois. Each parcel has a mix of yound and old vines, with the oldest being 60 years in the parcel of Verleule.
SOIL: Les Bodines is limestone-centric and Verleule is dominated by irridescent marnes.
VITICULTURE: Naturally farmed; no herbicides or pesticides, works in tandem with nature. All hand-harvested.
VINIFICATION: Destemmed by hand, whole berry maceration. Fermented in tank with indigenous yeasts.
AGING: Aged 8 months in tank with no added SO2.
PRODUCTION: Very limited
NOTES: The heat and drought of 2022 reduced yields in the Pinot Noir. To complete the cuvee and to give the Pinot Noir some lightness and freshness, Crinquand blended the two to make a beautiful, delicate and lifted red.
