Petite Empreinte, Coteaux Bourguigons Mas A Tierra, 2023

Mas A Tierra is a playful, minimal-intervention bottling from Petite Empreinte, part of a new generation of Burgundy growers pushing beyond tradition into more experimental, terroir-sensitive expressions. Labeled Coteaux Bourguignons—a flexible regional appellation—it’s likely a blend of Gamay and Pinot Noir, fermented with native yeasts and bottled with minimal sulfur for maximum purity and drinkability.

Expect bright red cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberry with a whiff of stemmy herbs, damp earth, and soft spice. The texture is light, the tannins gentle, and the acidity snappy—this is a red built to serve cool and drink with abandon. Perfect with picnic fare, cheese boards, or veggie-driven dinners, it’s the kind of wine that doesn’t need an occasion—just a corkscrew and good company.
