The grapes are hand harvested, sorted and carefully vinified.
After pressing and racking, the wine is vinified and aged 50% in 25 hectoliter oak barrels and 50% in stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out with native yeasts.
After 10 months of aging, the wine is bottled. Les Terres de Filendre is a négociant brand made by David Dubin, one of the best winemakers in Burgundy, with the same philosophy and quality as his own domaine, using 100% purchased grapes. David Dubin created a separate brand to challenge terroirs other than his home base, the Côte de Nuits. The name Filendre comes from two little angels, Philomène and Léandre, who were born on December 16, 2010. David Dubin 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 is no special contract with the growers, and they maintain a relationship of trust, allowing them to continuously purchase grapes of excellent quality. They are not involved in the field work, but they do the harvesting themselves, choosing the optimal timing. The grapes are organically grown and the Lutte Raisonnée method is used. He started purchasing grapes from Savigny-les-Beaune from the 2019 vintage, and is currently considering purchasing grapes from new areas if he can obtain grapes of the quality he desires. This is the first time that the 2020 vintage has been imported into Japan.
