Description
L’Ivresse de Noè 2018 (50cl, Sweet) is a natural wine crafted by , in the Jura region in . This sweet white wine known (not fortified) is made with 100% grapes, and is a harvested late, in November!
This wine name is named after the biblical story, showcasing of the drunkeness of Noah. We at first it had something to do with Christmas, because this wine is AMAZING, and would work incredibly well for a festive desert. We were all fighting for the last drops its that good.
The reason why, is because whilst it is sweet, its not too sweet. It really comes though great on the raisin notes, with vanilla cream and bruised yellow apple. A real gem. Actually one the best sweet wines we ever had!
This wine is hard harvested late in November, and aged in 400 litre tonneau for a two year period, with the barrels kept Ouille (topped up).
TONY BORNARD DOCUMENTARY
One of our first documentaries many years ago was with Tony Bornard, at a time when he had just build his new winery in Pupillin, and literally in the process of moving barrels in from the old cellar of Philippe Bornard into the new place up the road. This process of change was an important period for Tony Bornard and he opens up about this and the emotional aspects related to it.
