Stephan von Neipperg's entire range is impressive. Von Neipperg and his consulting winemaker, Stéphane Derenoncourt, opted for gentle extractions. Pumpovers were soft, while punchdowns were done only at the beginning of fermentations. Overall time on the skins was shorter than normal. As readers will see from the individual notes, yields were tiny across the board. La Mondotte is a tiny property distinguished by the huge bed of pure chalk that lies below the vineyards. Plenty of signs of this site's former life as a quarry remain, while the cellar is no-frills and cramped as they come. As for the wine, well, it is often magnificent.
