Coffret de 5 eaux-de-vie (format 20 cl), L'Esprit des Lieux, Roulot - 2018

All the eaux de vie were bottled in 20cl bottles in autumn 2022. Production volumes are and will remain very low. Even in a vintage like 2018, with a fine harvest, the estate is limited by the size of certain parcels, such as Charmes, where it only farms 27 ares 72. The result of this long process is the production of around 100 boxes per vintage, for the world.

Technique

Characteristics

The 5 eaux de vie come from the separation of 5 marcs from 5 different plots. Particular attention is paid to the quality of the storage of the gênes and the monitoring of their fermentation. In the case of white gênes, they must ferment in airtight tanks to prevent oxidation. The process is different for red genes, as they ferment with the juice during the cuvaison. The management of red genes is simpler than that of whites.

Oenology

The 5 fermented marcs (Perrières, Charmes, Clos des Bouchères, Tesson and Luchets) were distilled in the same way on the family still, at a high degree, close to 70% vol. They were aged separately in glass carboys for over 4 years. The alcoholic strength of these eaux de vie was gradually reduced to bring them down to a marketable level of 45°. On the basis of tasting alone, the estate decided to present the Luchets eau de vie at a slightly lower alcoholic strength (42°), as this dilution allowed it to assert its character more strongly.

Suggestions for accompaniment

We advise you to serve them at cellar temperature, in 1cl doses for the 5 lieux dits.
