A great year for the grapes. Sun, a little rain at times and fun. At the harvest Patrick and his team did this with laughter and singing. Even our neighbour wondered how much the team was enjoying themselves. It is all about fun also when you harvest. Convinced that this was critical to make this a great vintage.
First year we pruned with the Poussard - Guyot method, 8-12 bunches of grapes per vine. Mechanical de-weeding, winter cereals and minimal intervention in the soil works. Added sulphites <40g/HL.
As the grapes were of an excellent quality, maturity at perfection. 3 grape varieties were assembled once the fermentation process was finished. The result a refined wine, yet with a personality.

The Recipe
For the 2016 vintage of our labels, Audrey worked on all the plants that surround us and that we use daily in the process of creating wine. They deserved a place on one of Clos Monicord's six-label series!
With each drawing, she associated a text. It recalls both the real name of the plant, its Latin name, and a combination of syllables to create an imaginary name.
Roasted Black Porc breast on vine shoots
- Black pork breast preferably with bone
- 1 litre of red wine, for the marinade. Not necessarily Clos Monicord, for cooking a simpler wine is fine. Organic preferably
- A good bunch of Vine shoots, preferably also organic. In case you can find contact us, sometimes we have some spare
- Fresh herbs a few leaves of Sage, Thyme, Rosemary, Laurel
The herbs and red wine make up the marinade just add the pork breast. Let it marinate 24 hours. The next day on your barbecue or in the fireplace, prepare nice embers. Drain and dry the pork belly add salt and pepper. Add the vine shoots to your embers and when most of the flames are reduced, sear the breast. Once nicely browned, the pork roast is ready to be served.
