Download technical sheet for the wine

Vineyard

Planted on an ideal, south-facing parcel, not far from Chevalier-Montrachet, the 40 year old vines grow on stony ground which contains a high percentage of limestone and is steeply sloped.

Vinification

After harvesting by hand, carried-out when the grapes have reached full maturity, the grapes are gently pressed in a pneumatic press. The must is left to settle overnight and put into barrels, 50% in new oak barrels.  The fermentation starts naturally using indigenous yeast and bacteria.  After being racked 9 months later, the wines undergo a fine filtration using a membrane filter of 5μ and are then bottled by gravity.

Tasting note

Subtle when young, this wine needs time to show its character.  A good firm structure with mineral aromas of flint.

Aging

10 to 12 years (stored in the right temperature and humidity conditions).
