Understanding Ballot Millot, Pommard Premier Cru, Les Pezerolles, Burgundy

The Ballot-Millot Les Pezerolles is the product of a deep understanding and respect for the terroir, cultivated from parcels within the les Pezerolles vineyard. The domaine's philosophy of minimal intervention—both in the vineyard and the cellar—ensures that the distinctive qualities of the terroir are reflected in the wine. The soil's complexity, a mix of limestone and clay, lends the wine its notable structure and depth. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts is followed by careful ageing in French oak barrels, judiciously selected to complement the wine's robust profile without overshadowing its natural vibrancy. This Les Pezerolles features ripe dark fruit, earthy notes and spiciness, balanced by a robust tannic structure promising significant ageing potential.
