- Vineyard Notes
-
Distinguished by its excellent situation, just under Montrachet, its soil is beautiful, not too deep, and rich ; the subsoil has a good drainage.
- Winemaking
-
After hand-harvesting the grapes, they are rapidly transported to the winery where they are sorted and lightly crushed before arriving to the pneumatic membrane press. The pressing cycle is as delicate as possible with very regular pressure increments. The musts are directed to a tank for a period that lasts from 12 to 24 hours during which a light débourbage is done while carefully keeping the best lees, which are the main source of nourishment for the natural occurring yeasts. At the end of this first fermentation, we begin the batonnage (punch-downs), two or three times a week until about Christmas, sometimes until the beginning of the malolactic fermentation.

Maturation lasts, depending on the vintage, from 12 to 16 months for the Bourgogne Aligoté, and 16-20 months for the Chardonnays. Bottling is done by gravity.

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 ...
