Reddish Carmant color. Characterized by the aroma of raspberry, with hints of dried flowers and flint. Soft tannins and very elegant. Harmonious, delicate and refined finish. Grapes are hand-picked, sorted, and 60% fermented whole bunch. After 15 days of fermentation, punch down and remontage are done with feet. After pressing, the wine is débourbage (settling solids) for 2 weeks and then transferred to wooden barrels. 30% of the barrels are new, and the remaining 70% are barrels that are 1 to 5 years old. The wine is aged for 13 months, racked, and left for 3 months before bottling. It is not clarified or filtered. Les Terres de Filléandre is a négociant brand made by David Duban, one of the best winemakers in Burgundy, with the same philosophy and quality as his own domaine, using 100% purchased grapes. In order to challenge terroirs other than the Côte de Nuits, David Duban's home base, he decided to establish a separate brand. The name Philomène comes from the two little angels born on December 16, 2010, Philomène and Léandre. David Duban purchases grapes that meet his strict requirements, and he buys only those that he is satisfied with after observing the work of the growers. There are no special contracts with the growers, and he maintains a trusting relationship with them, and is able to continuously purchase grapes of excellent quality. Although he is not involved in the field work, he harvests them himself at the optimal timing. The grapes are grown organically and are lutte raisonnée. He started purchasing Savigny-les-Beaune from the 2019 vintage, and is still considering purchasing new areas if he can get grapes of the quality he is looking for. This is the first time that grapes from the 2020 vintage will be available in Japan.
