Domaine du Gringet La Bergerie Vin de Savoie Ayze

La Bergerie is a dry still white wine from Domaine du Gringet, made from Gringet in the Ayze appellation of Savoie. It is the domaine's principal cuvée and its only blended wine, drawn from vines on the sites Le Pré Milleret and Chez Reydet, on yellow marl, white marl and limestone scree. The grapes are pressed gently for seven hours and fermented with native yeasts. The wine rests on fine lees for nine months, two thirds in concrete eggs and one third in stainless steel. It is bottled without fining or filtration, then aged a further ten months in bottle. A very small addition of sulphite is used, with 12mg/l total sulphur. The domaine farms organically and biodynamically.
