We're glad to make available a special one-off cuvée from Domaine Dandelion.

Pinot de Zinc* 2022 is the result of Christian seizing an opportunity he was offered, to swap fruit with a friend farming biodynamically near Pouligny, a unique chance he didn't want to miss. 2022 was a warm, dry year - and even more so down from the hills of Beaune where Morgane & Christian are - so it's a little more concentrated and brooding than the '22 Dandelions. It's a 50/50 blend of this Pouligny fruit, and a 'Dessus de Lies' from the 2022 Dandelion fruit. After two years ageing separately, the two spent another 6 months ageing together before bottling with no additions, unfined & unfiltered.

A deeper wine from Dandelion, with good structure and concentration, it plays beautifully with food.

Pinot de Zinc 2022: The 'Dessus De Lies' is a barrel collecting the final 10L of clear wine saved when racking off barrels for the Hautes-Cotes Nature, aged for longer to settle out into a clearer wine but still a little cloudy. Aged for 2 years in barrel.

The Pouligny fruit had three weeks maceration as whole bunches before a manual basket pressing, aged for 2 years in barrel. The two barrels were assembled in tank for a further 6 months ageing together before bottling with no additions, unfined & unfiltered. All movements in the cellar are by gravity.
