Herisson (3 L) 2023 Rouge, Bourgogne Passetoutgrain AOP BOX WINE

Vine Age: Planted 1950–2000
Harvest: Manual

Winemaking Notes: Grapes are fully destemmed and then allowed to macerate for one week. Fermentation takes place in a temperature controlled stainless steel tank over a period of 7 days with one punch down per day. The juice is then racked to a cement tank and allowed to rest for 5 months. It is lightly fined and filtered.

Producer Notes: Domaine de Rochebin consists of 50 hectares of sustainably farmed vines located in Aze, the heart of the Mâconnais. The domaine was established in 1925 and has always been committed to low intervention practice in the cellar that respect the tradition of the region.

Sustainability: The wine packaging format with the lowest level of carbon emissions is bag-in-box (BIB), or box wine. Glass bottle production is almost 10 times higher than BIB. Glass is also heavy to transport. Consisting of only cardboard and a bag, the BIB package is very lightweight, which enables considerable transport savings. The recycling process for BIB is also less energy intensive. Box wine is one of the most sustainable ways to buy and consume wine for early drinking.
