Cuvée Léandre L’Homme De Lion, Clos des Vignes du Maynes 750ml

Bright, vivid with great verve and energy. The palate is rich and salty with a firm backbone and insane length and intensity. You just want to keep drinking it in order to feel all the nuance and infinite layers of complexity. This wine can be enjoyed with a nice full-bodied cheese platter. It can be kept between 2 and 5 years. In order to take advantage of all its aromatic assets, we advise you to decant it half an hour in advance, and to serve it between 10 and 12 °C.

Clos des Vignes du Maynes first appeared on maps in 910 by monks in Burgundy and in 1952 it passed into the hands of the Guillot family. No chemicals have ever been used in the vineyard and it has always been cultivated with the utmost respect for the land. The aim is to make wines for people who enjoy drinking wine, who seek a generous and enjoyable wine and who like to share it. To continue to improve their soils and plants, they conducted their first biodynamic trials in 1998. They use the most natural methods to vinify their wines: natural yeasts, no sulfites, no enzymes and no chemical additives. The winemaker, Julien Guillot, has perfectly exploited the wonderful heritage represented by this seven-hectare estate, planted with Pinot Noir, Gamay and Chardonnay. After hand-harvesting and highly selective sorting, this Cuvee is vinified naturally and with minimal intervention, using indigenous yeasts. The winemaker adds no sulphur at all, to create a natural wine of great purity. Produced in extremely limited quantities (only 300 bottles!) and aged for five years.
