2022 Thierry Mortet Passetoutgrains, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Passetoutgrains is a historic Burgundian blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay, with Thierry Mortet’s expression emphasizing purity and drinkability. Sourced from vineyards planted on clay-limestone soils, the wine benefits from the balance of structure from Pinot Noir and the bright fruitiness of Gamay. The domaine follows organic farming practices, ensuring healthy, expressive fruit through meticulous vineyard care and natural treatments. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo traditional vinification, with whole-cluster fermentation enhancing aromatics and texture. The wine is aged for 6–8 months in stainless steel tanks, preserving its vibrant fruit character and freshness. The result is a lively, approachable red that pairs beautifully with charcuterie, roast chicken, and light pasta dishes.
