Domaine Albert Sounit - Les Saint-Jacques | Rully
White wine | France, BOURGOGNE COTES CHALONNAISE | 2022
The nose is very floral and fruity, with notes of white flower, rosé grapefruit and minerality. You also sense some exotic fruit, like pineapple and mango. The fruitiness continues on the palate, framed by a very present minerality. The well-balanced acidity secures a fruity and lively aftertaste, that stays on the palate for a long time.

Vinification
The wine is 100% vinified on French oak of which around 18% is new oak. Half of the
barrels are 300 L with the other half being 228 L. Fermentation is based on native yeast and last, together with the malolactic conversion and maturation 10 month. No racking
takes place. During this period, the wine is in contact with its fine lees - batonnage
being caried out, when we believe the wine can benefit from it – giving more body and
texture. After this the wine spends 2 months in stainless steel tanks to settle before
bottling without filtration.

About Dom. Albert Sounit
Crémant de Bourgogne is the specialization of this small house that is located in Rully, the heart of the Crémant de Bourgogne region. The sparkling wines of Sounit are regularly labeled as extremely beautiful wines by the international press. In addition, they feed a number of beautiful silent white and red wines on a small scale, whereby respect for the "terroir" is paramount. At Sounit wines are still being raised that are authentic to the Châlonnaise region. The wood upbringing (common for many burgundies) is applied in a balanced way, with the result: fresh, generous and yet robust Burgundy as the wines from this region should be.
