Burgundy Domaine Voarick 2001
The 2001 Domaine Voarick Bourgogne is a red wine produced by Domaine Michel Picard under the Appellation Bourgogne Contrôlée. Bottled directly at the estate, this wine originates from Domaine Voarick, which boasts one of the largest vineyard holdings in Burgundy with over 55 hectares of vines. The estate is situated in the heart of Saint-Martin-Sous-Montaigu, a village neighboring Mercurey in the Côte Chalonnaise.
Burgundy, located in eastern France, is a historic wine region shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped its countless terroirs. The overarching Bourgogne AOC, officially established in 1937, spans a vast geographical area from the Yonne department in the north to the Rhône department in the south. The region features a predominantly continental climate with cold winters, cool springs, and warm summers, providing ideal conditions for early-ripening grape varieties. The soils are highly varied but are generally dominated by a classic mixture of clay and limestone. The 2001 vintage in this area achieved a score of 90 points and is characterized as elegant, acid-driven, and classic.
This wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir, an elegant dark-skinned grape that serves as one of the two absolute main varieties defining Burgundy's production. While Pinot Noir is cultivated in several prominent wine regions worldwide, including Champagne, Germany, Oregon, and California, it is deeply rooted in the fine-meshed system of climats found throughout the French region.
