Oh Happy BeserkerDay!
Five years ago we quit our jobs working in finance and moved to Burgundy to stick our feet in some of the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes we could find. Now, here we are with our third vintage, 2015, shipping this Spring.
To get a better idea of who we are, hit play on the video below to see the highlights from our 2014 harvest.
[vimeo]109045994[/vimeo]Our goal with Maison Harbour and our limited production (<500 cases) wines is to connect directly with people who love wine. Berserker day gives us a special opportunity to do just that. We are so excited to have the chance to share a couple very special wines with you today. So grab a case while they last and try these wines that we put so much more than just our feet into.
Berserker Bourgogne
Our last cases of Bourgogne Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from 2014 and 2015 are up for grabs…
Case (12x750ml) / 360 EUR - Free Shipping
Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2014
2 cases available - Sold
This is a serious little wine. It is produced from organic grapes we purchased from a small parcel on the outskirts of Vosne-Romanée that was planted in 1988. Minimal intervention, indigenous yeast/bacteria, no fining, unfiltered.
Bill Nanson shared, “Côte de Nuits from near Vosne. Quite a nice width of aroma here though much more modest depth after the Vosne. Round, a nice sweetness of fruit, indeed for a Bourgogne good texture and cushioned intensity - this is actually very, very good from the mid-pallet onwards, a wine that opens out from narrow beginnings. Super good length.”
Bourgogne Chardonnay 2014
1 case available - Sold
If you didn’t score as much Chardonnay as you would have liked from the “vintage of a generation” for white Burgundy… here is your chance. Coming from the hills above the village of Pernand-Vergelesses in the Hautes Côtes these grapes turned into some delicious wine! Minimal intervention, indigenous yeast/bacteria, no stirring, racked once, no fining, light filtration.
There was so little of this made that it all gobbled up by friends and family… this case is the only case we will sell of this wine!
Bourgogne Chardonnay 2015
3 cases available - Sold
A beautiful growing season, a passionate organic and biodynamic grower… the stars aligned for us on this one. These grapes come from a small parcel of Chardonnay nestled in the Côte de Nuits near the famous Chateau Clos Vougeot… as usual, minimal intervention, indigenous yeast/bacteria, no stirring, racked once, no fining, light filtration.
Jancis Robinson just tasted in London last week and had the following to say, “simple, neutral, creamy palate. Dry, saline finish with good persistence and leesy texture. Good quality for Bourgogne level, with classic restraint combined with a textural palate. (RH)Drink 2016-2019 - 16”
Bill Nanson noted, “A different supplier to 2014 here from Côte de Nuits, across from the Clos de Vougeot. A large nose, fresh detail, citrus and a little sweet oak. Hmm, this is nicer than the nose hinted, it’s rather mineral, silkily textured and has decent drive despite plenty of concentration. A really good finish that’s bright but far from simple. Lovely…”
