This wine is made from grapes taken from a single vineyard called “Au Clou” in the marble-quarrying village of Corgoloin, right on the boarder with the Cote de Beaune. She calls it a ‘lovely plot’ and indeed the wine is a delicious, rich representation of the northern half of the Cote d’Or, showing sous bois, red cherry and bramble fruit flavours with a soft, bright mouthfeel and a long, flavour-filled finish. It’s excellent wine making from an excellent region.
Broadly speaking, Róisín gives her wines a very light fining and filtration in order to preserve the natural character of the grapes terroir as much as possible. Indeed, some of her wines are left completely unfiltered.
Irish born winemaker, Roisin Curley, originally hails from Co.Mayo. She is considered a micro-negociant as she buys small parcels of grapes from growers and bottles them under her own name.
