Domaine Sylvain Dussort - Bourgogne Blanc - Cuvée des Ormes 2017
Domaine Sylvain Dussort is located in the town of Meursault, in Burgundy. Sylvain Dussort, son of wine growers and coopers, took over the family business with his wife in 1982. Over the years, the estate has grown and now covers 6.5 hectares. Sylvain Dussort produces his wines through sustainable agriculture; the treatments of the vine are carried out with phytopharmaceutical products based on copper and sulfur, according to the needs of the plant, its vegetation and the weather. The fertilizers are organic and the vinification is carried out traditionally, with natural ferments without any contribution of yeast.
Cuvée des Ormes is the estate's flagship cuvée. The Chardonnay comes from 3 hectares of Bourgogne Blanc cultivated in the town of Meursault and spread over about twenty plots of age varying between 35 and 60 years. Manual harvesting is carried out according to the age and geographical location of the vine. The aging is carried out for 12 months, in barrels and on lees.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
