The wine

Le domaine de la Pinte exploite 35a de savagnin en Beaumont sur la commune de Ménétru, où il produit son fameux château-chalon, vin à la longévité légendaire. Les vieilles vignes du domaine y produisent un faible rendement, d'à peine 20 hecto litres par hectare. Les vendanges sont manuelles, afin de préserver le raisin. Le vin passe 7 années sous voile, en fûts de 228 litres, afin de pouvoir prétendre à l'appellation et développer ces fameux arômes, propres aux vins jaunes.
Le nez, marqué par la noix, développe aussi une aromatique proche du cury, qui en fait un vin très agréable. La bouche, vive et longue, sait aussi rester suave et apporter une matière noble qu'un élevage de 7 ans sous voile magnifie.

Information about domain La Pinte

Founded in 1953 by Roger Martin, Domaine de la Pinte is found in the lieu-dit “La Pinte à la Capitaine” on the blue marl of Lias, at the heart of Arbois. Roger planted 14 hectares of Savagnin upon arrival, making it the largest grower of this varietal at the time. Today it's his son Pierre Martin who keeps the wheels turning. The domain has been extended to cover 34 hectares today (with 17 hectares of Savagnin, 6 of Chardonnay, 7 of Poulsard, 4 of Trousseau and Pinot noir), all planted across Arbois and Pupillin. Since 1999 the domain has been organic, and it took the step to biodynamics in 2009. The soils are ploughed only on the surface to avoid destructuring them; compost and manure are used to create a harmony between different elements of the earth. The harvests are carried out by hand. Once in the winery, the vinification begins with indigenous yeasts and sulphur is used in limited quantities. The wine is matured in casks, demi-muids, and foudre containers for a duration that depends on the varietals used and the cuvée being made. There is no new wood used to avoid marking the wine. This maturation occurs on fine lees with stirring that follows the lunar calendar. The result of all these efforts is certainly a good one, so this is a domain to discover in haste!
