2020 | Bertrand Machard De Gramont | Bourgogne Aligote Le Chene du Court

It comes out with a tight texture on the citrus skin. A model of radiance, freshness and tone, irresistible as an aperitif with oysters.

Producer Information

Bertrand Machard de Gramont created the estate in 1984 after having worked in Chambolle Musigny at Comte de Vogue. In 2001, the production area was expanded to 6 hectares thanks to the spectacular replanting on the terraces of the “Vallerots” plot, on virgin soil which had been partly abandoned since Phylloxera. Bertrand’s daughter, Axelle Machard de Gramont, is the current owner and winemaker of the domaine. As the granddaughter of a Dufouleur, Axelle has winemaking in her blood, however when she was 20, she took what became a 15-year hiatus to Paris where she became a real city girl. Living there made her aware of ecology and also gave her the opportunity to taste organic wines which were just becoming popular in Paris wine bars at the time. She returned to the domaine in 2004 to join her father in the family business. It was due to her – and despite concern from her father – that the domaine converted to organic production, and was certified in 2014. Today she runs the domaine and she ferments all her wines using natural yeast. Where new oak is used, it is done so sparingly, and all the wine is unfined and unfiltered with limited amounts of sulfur. Very minimal intervention is the goal.
