Domaine Silvain Langoureau : Original Burgundian Winemakers
One feels a sense of excitement upon entering the driveway of the couple’s gorgeous residence, boasting pretty flower pots, charming miniature doors, and a hidden wine cellar in the home’s basement.
And as one enters the cellar, one can often hear wine bubbling away during the malolactic fermentation.
Meursault – Puligny – Chassagne – Saint-Aubin
Sylvain and Nathalie own plots in Meursault, Puligny, Chassagne and Saint-Aubin, including 1er Cru En Remilly,.
Experts consider this vineyard one of the finest vineyards in Saint-Aubin, which is actually a continuation of Le Montrachet.
Domaine Silvain Langoureau – Hard Work
The couple work by done by hand. They prune vines to a maximum of five shoots for naturally low yields.
Cover grass is used in certain parcels to promote water competition and to minimize erosion. They use here very little new oak, and the yeast is ambient.
It was a lovely visit with fabulous white wines.
