BINAUME

BiNaume is a project started by Claire Naudin and her husband Jean-Yves Bizot. Post the catastrophic conditions in 2016 they went looking for grapes and their search ended 200km west of Beaune in Saint-Pourçain. Gamay, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the norm here so it felt like the right location for this new adventure.

Grapes are transported by a refrigerated truck back to the domaine. They are vinified whole-cluster in cement tanks with no sulphur. Minimum extraction is favoured with early pressing to favour the fruit and limit the extraction of tannins. They need a little oxygen after opening and Claire recommends decant or even a good shake if you are bothered by the CO2. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
