The vineyard of Ronceret is a mere 3 hectares on the eastern border of 1er Cru Champans. Aurélien's plot contains 40 year old vines on clay-limestone soils. It is vinified using 100% whole bunches and fermented with indigenous yeast in stainless steel before being aged for 12 months in used oak barrels with an additional month and half in stainless steel before bottling. Just 1,560 bottles were made! The resulting wine has a beautiful aroma of ripe red berry notes like raspberry, wild strawberry and cherry. There is excellent concentration of fruit and the wine contains an elegant note of spice. There are really balanced tannins with great freshness. Having tasted this wine a few weeks ago it is approachable now but will clearly continue to evolve with extended time in the bottle. -HKC
