Appellation Irancy
The Irancy AOC and the use of Caesar
The appellation covers 190 hectares spread between the communes of Irancy, Cravant and Vincelottes, all three belonging to the Yonne department. It is located to the south west of Chablis, on the right bank of the Yonne.
Burgundy has known vines since the 2nd century. The Romans imported them and then maintained them and created the reputation of Burgundy wines. In the Middle Ages, it was the monks of the region who continued the development of the vineyard, in Irancy, the vines were maintained by the monks of the Convent of Saint-Germain.
The AOC Irancy is made up mainly of pinot noir, but also of césar, a regional grape variety that can be used in the production of wines up to a maximum of 10%. It is this variety that brings intensity to the colour and structure to the palate.
The Irancy vines are exposed to a semi-continental climate: the summers are hot, the winters harsh and there are regular frosts in spring. They also enjoy chalky soils, and a south or south-west exposure.
Irancy, robust wines
The red wines produced in the appellation have a purple coat, very intense, with a bright colour. There are noticeable fruity scents of raspberry, blackcurrant, morello cherry and blackberry. Scents of violet can also be felt, as well as smoothness and pepper. Over the years, the nose develops notes of leather, undergrowth, spices.
The palate is very charpent, firm and velvety, the tannins are melted and the acidity present makes it a wine for ageing, between 3 and 10 years depending on the vintage. Irancy is best served with cold meats, pâté en croûte, ribs, meats in sauce, and salted pork with lentils. With cheese, it is best served with Camembert or Cantal.
