Vineyard notes: "Les Drazey is a lieu-dit north of the village of Chambolle-Musigny. The reddish-brown soil, 50 to 60 cm thick, contains a variety of blunt-to-rounded limestone fragments. The substratum at Les Drazey is formed of a variety of limestone fragments, cemented together by salmon-colored clayey limestone. This conglomerate rock is the result of major erosion that occurred as the topography of the Côte de Nuits took shape. Les Argillières is a lieu-dit southeast of the village of Chambolle-Musigny. The light-colored soil is not very stony and is about 40 to 50 cm thick. The underlying substratum of Les Argillières can be seen in a neighboring hollow (possibly an old clay mine)."

- Winemaking
-
Our grapes are vinified with little or no destemming, depending on the nature of the vintage. Only indigenous yeasts are used to preserve the authentic origin of the wines. Fermentation lasts about two weeks with some light punching down at the start, then pumping over for a smoother extraction towards the end of fermentation. The main concern is the balance between firmness and suppleness for the tannins. After being lightly pressed in a pneumatic press, the wines are transferred to the cellar by gravity.

The wines will spend 14 to 18 months in oak barrels. We buy the wood two years in advance to guarantee sufficient drying time for the quality of our barrels. Elevage plays a key role in refining the tannins, which is why we use a significant proportion of new wood.

Vintage quality: Excellent
Current condition: Ready to drink, will keep
The 2016 vintage for Burgundy was difficult to say the least.
An extremely mild winter gave way to a cooler than average March, although conditions eventually warmed up enough to allow for a typical budburst. However, that's where normality came abruptly ...
