Vincent Ricard

Domaine Vincent Ricard

Vincent Ricard began his activity in 1999 but he has generations of winemakers behind him : His grandfather was one of the 3 associates who created the Oisly-Thésée wine-coop . He now works on 14,5 hectares . Was working on 17 hectares not long ago but he views himself ideally with a 12-13 hectares vineyard . It is a surface that can be handled, quietly and seriously, as needed for the type of work in the vineyard he does : Earthing down under the rows, keeping grass and weeds between them, meticulous pruning . His serious work in the vineyard, at the harvest, and when maturing the wines, has brought him beautiful results that led to recognition worldwide . 65 % of his wine is for export ( U.S. : Petit Pois Corp ) .
Most of the vineyard is in Sauvignon, with small surfaces of Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Cot ( Malbec ).

Domaine Bouley Pommard 2005

Domaine Bouley Pommard

Tasting Note
A very gentle touch of wood sets off red berry fruit aromas that contain hints of underlying minerality that are also picked up by the very fresh as well as bigger and richer flavors though here the tannins are mildly rustic on the firm, dusty, and persistent finish.
