Gabin Et Félix Richoux veaupessiot Irancy 2018

The Richoux family have been growing grapes and producing wine in the picturesque village of Irancy since 1610. Over the years, the family have accumulated a fairly sizable patchwork of vineyards in various sectors of the appellation. They are driven by an unwavering commitment to always respect both the unique terroir of Irancy as well as the particular qualities of each vintage. Their finest and best-exposed parcels are used to make the Irancy Rouge. In top years, he also makes two single-vineyard Irancy: one from the gradually sloping and clay centric "Cailles" vineyard, and the second from a vineyard called “Vaupessiot” with older vines and a full south-facing exposition overlooking the Yonne River. ‘Northerly’ in spirit, Irancy reds lead with minerals and earth rather than luscious fruit which itself plays a more supporting role in the background. This 2018 Veaupessiot is all of the above, if more strutured and complex the way a single-vineyard bottling should be.
