Biodynamic tradition. Domaine Jean Bourdy
The large old wood barrels in which the wine ages (never young barrels) greet us. Here, they use only those as they genuinely hate the oaky taste that smaller barrels give. Also, they never use new barrels, only 10-12 years old, with no tannins and only natural flavors, making the wine not only characteristic but elegant at the same time. This is one of the reasons Domaine Jean Bourdy wines can age all this time as it has a long cycle in barrels before bottling. And only when needed do they bottle the wine, leaving the rest in the barrels. Why? Simply tradition and excellent taste.
