2023 Maison Glandien La Lumiere Rouge, Vin de France Anders Frederik Steen Cramant Grand Cru and OgerThis is an extension from the Glandien which declassifies Tinos domaine fruit. Chardonnay here is from a densely planted 0. 5 ha parcel in Mercurey La Brigadire (massale selection; ~10,000 vines ha), farmed biodynamically with minuscule yields around 1015 hl ha. Whole clusters are foot tread and vertically pressed; fermentation is spontaneous, then 19 months on full lees in new 228 L Stockinger barrels, with only a light SO at bottling. 1 btl customer.
