Domaine DE ROCHEBIN - Domaines et Vins de Propriété

<h1>Domaines et Vins de Propriété - Bourgogne</h1> <h2></h2> <h3>ESTATE</h3> This estate is situated at an altitude of 450 m on hilltop overlooking the Saône plain, in the lieu-dit "en Normant", close to Azé, a town renowned for its prehistoric caves. The domaine's coat of arms features the skull of a lion reminiscent of the great lion found in one of the caves. The wooded hillside of Azé borders the town of Cluny, whose abbey was one of the leading sites of medieval Christianity. Most of the vineyards belonging to the domaine come from the abbey's former properties. As far back as the year 1000, its monks were already labouring in the vineyards. They produced wines that were highly-prized by leading church dignitaries and crowned heads, many of whom, along with pilgrims and faithful followers, frequented the abbey over the course of 8 centuries. Its vast refectories served an average of 100 meals a day. Naturally, these meals were accompanied by plenty of wine, as befits a region where eating and drinking well have always been accorded a place of honour. The diversity of the 36 hectares of vines owned by this domaine enable it to grow all the prestigious Burgundy grape varieties. <h3>VINE GROWERS</h3> The family have been vine-growers from father to son since 1921. Jean-Pierre Marillier has just handed the domaine over to its new owner, his son Mikaël, an enthusiastic young producer with a promising future. The domaine has 9 full time employees. <h3>WINE MAKING</h3> For the white wines: Horizontal press (with plates), enzymatic settling, yeast addition, 25-day fermentation period at a low temperature (18 to 20°C) in stainless steel vats, blocked malolactic fermentation, ageing on the fine lees (4 to 5 months), racking, fining and bottling.
