Domaine Bornard Point Barre 2022
'This Point Barre is made from the Poulsard (aka Ploussard) grape and gives off aromas of red currants, citrus and saddle leather with a touch of cinnamon.
There is a purity and silkiness to this wine that makes it quite ethereal. It matches with just about any food you care to think of.
The name, by the way, literally translates as “full stop”. So there is Ploussard, full stop, nothing else! This includes no added sulphites.
The 2022 vintage wine is more intense (darker and more profound) than usual. A reflection of the vintage, the alcohol level is higher than usual and Tony thinks it is a vintage that will keep for much longer than usual.
The vinification was slightly different to previous vintages too. It was destemmed then macerated in stainless steel for a month (that bit is typical) but it was infused with the marc from la Chamade, the other Ploussard cuvée. After pressing it was aged in stainless steel and bottled in July 2023.'
