Sylvain Morey Bourgogne Passetoutgrain AOC 2018

Slyvain Morey’s Bourgogne Passetoutgrain blend is way more than the sum of its pinot noir and gamay parts. Morey exemplifies modernist Burgundian winegrowing -- low-impact farming of multiple, infinitesimal plots and minimal intervention in the cellar. Making about nine wines each vintage from under 3ha of vineyards, it’s amazing that we even get a chance to taste some of these micro-bottlings. His version of Bourgogne Passetoutgrain, a 2:1 blend of pinot noir and gamay, is a perfect introduction to Morey’s ability to make wines of incredible tension and verve. Heightened aromas of raspberry and cranberry bounce off the spring-board, vivacious palate. Invigorating and delicate, age-worthy and also highly imbibable. Only 900 bottles produced. Organically grown, low-intervention/natural wine.
