Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire Le Vin de plus Simplement "Les Echalas" Bernard Van Berg 2009

Renowned Belgian photographer and wine enthusiast Bernard Van Berg changed the course of his life in the early 2000s, settling in Meursault with his wife Judith to devote himself to winemaking. There, he took over a two-hectare vineyard planted with Chardonnay, Aligoté, Pinot Noir and Gamay, including vines dating back to 1950. The vineyard has been farmed organically, certified since 2008, without fertilisers or plant protection products. The vines are tended like a small garden, with the soils ploughed by horse. Naturally, yields are extremely low. The same natural approach continues in the winery, where there is no destemming, no added yeasts or enriching, and sulphur additions are kept to an absolute minimum. The wines are aged in new casks.
