Maison La Pierre Ronde (Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne) Description
Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne wears many hats and, over the past 15 or so years, has devoted himself to helping growers develop and succeed with organic and biodynamic viticultural methods in Burgundy.
He worked at Domaine Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet for 8 years. With Anne-Claude Leflaive, he founded the well-loved École Du Vin et des Terroirs in 2008, an intimate classroom for Burgundian growers looking to expand their knowledge in everything from plant bio-indicators to sensitive crystallization. In 2012, he published the widely read and well-loved What’s So Special About Biodynamic Wines: 35 Questions & Answers For Wine Lovers. A few years later, after Anne-Claude’s passing in 2015, he decided to leave the domaine and found his independent biodynamic consulting company, “La Pierre Ronde,” in 2016.
Working closely with so many motivated growers in the region, Antoine naturally formed the relationships and mutual trust that inevitably led him to consider purchasing grapes and making his own wine.
A single parcel 60yr old vines from the foot of the hill of Corton facing Ladoix.
Vinous: 90-92 Points
The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté Vieilles Vignes, from vines in Ladoix, was aged 60% in cask, 30% in amphora and 10% in neutral oak.. A wine of texture and depth, the Vieilles Vignes is quite impressive. Ripe pear, apple tart, vanillin and a kiss of French oak all grace this exquisite white.
