mehrere Informationen

The Springfield Méthode Ancienne ( ancient method) is, as the name suggests, made in the style of old Burgundy. Only seldom in the so-called new wine world is spontaneous fermentation carried out, i.e. only by means of yeasts, which are present in the air of the cellar anyway, and without fining and filtration. With this "back to the roots" method, the winery succeeds in producing a wine with a distinctly classic Burgundy character. It is made to develop slowly and hopefully last for decades. Wonderful nuances of lime, Cointreau and orange! On the palate concentrated, almost buttery fullness, distinct minerality, complex and diverse. A masterly Chardonnay in the best sense of the word, which is only released in exceptional vintages! This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this first-class Chardonnay were harvested at night and fermented spontaneously without skin contact and without the addition of sulphur in 30% new Nadalié oak barrels and 70% in second set Seguin Moreau barrels. After completion of the spontaneous fermentation, i.e. the fermentation was carried out exclusively by wild yeast on the grapes themselves and in the winery, the wine was matured on the yeast in the barrel for a period of 12 months.
