Philippe Bornard Arbois Pupillin Ploussard "Plou Plou Point Barre" Magnum

Ploussard From vines planted in 1967 and 1973 on gray and red marl. All grapes are hand-harvested with carbonic maceration taking place in stainless steel for 21 days, then transferred to 10hl oak barrels for rest for 18 months. Rightfully having been described as "Art Wines," Philippe Bornard has crafted his wines to the beat of a different drummer. This wine comes from 60+ year old vines. Bunches are de-stemmed, but left whole berry for fermentation, which helps to explain the softness of this wine. Like all of his wines, they are unlike anyone else's. This ploussard has a beautifully delicate floral nose and displays soft, dusty and extraordinarily savory fruit.
