Uliz, Saint-Aubin, Le Ban 2014

Fruit comes from a vineyard that sits high above and slightly southwest of the village with southeastern exposures, warm days and cool nights, called ‘Le Ban’. Vines average 55-years-old from rocky limestone and gravel soil. Fruit is typically harvested a week later than La Combe due to its southern exposure.

To say that Antoine Petitprez is committed to natural wine is putting it mildly. During his education he was responsible for a research program on the moon’s effects on wines and vines. He created an association with the likes of Meo Camuzet, Domaine JJ Confuron, Alain Meunier, Liger Bel Air, Bruno Clavelier and Domaine Dujac to repeat experimentations in the vineyards and in the cellar. He’s part of a new generation in Burgundy, taking the best of tradition, soil and winemaking to tell a story of where the wines were made.
