Domaine Borgeot. Good enough for Harrod's

The Borgeot brothers, Pascal and Laurent , are fourth-generation winemakers. The future also looks bright for this 1903 Domaine. With the introduction of the talented Julia Borgeot , Pascal's daughter. The famous luxury department store Harrod's in London also carries their wines.

Pascal and Laurent Borgeot also have a great touch with Chardonnay. And also make classic and characteristic village and premier cru wines in the 'golden triangle' of Burgundy: Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault .

The winery itself is located in Rémigny , a village that is not officially in the Côte d'Or. But their vineyards in Santenay and other appellations opposite are. Borgeot has 48 hectares, half red, half white. Most of the vines are 30 years old or more. With parcels of Santenay 'Les Gravières' and Santenay 'Vieilles Vignes' older than 50 years.

Careful winemaking

For over twenty years, their vines have been fed only organic fertilizer. They till the soil in winter to control weeds and increase microbial activity. Where they have replanted, they have chosen vines with a low yield. All these measures are aimed at bringing the harvest to full and perfect ripeness every year.

Hand crafted Pinot Noir

Hand picking and sorting avoids unnecessary stems and leaves in the must. The harvest is then completely destemmed, again to avoid green tannins. Vinification is 'traditional', that is: cold maceration for 10 to 12 days prior to fermentation.

The must is pumped over the floating hood of grapes and pierced (pigeage) twice a day. A modern pneumatic press and temperature control play an essential role in the result of the wine. Because the goal is to preserve the fruitiness. But at the same time to bring out the individual minerality of the different plots.

All the wine, except the Aligoté, is aged in oak. The age of the barrels depends on the wine and the vintage (25% new oak is average). After a light filtration, the wines are bottled under anaerobic conditions.
