Vineyard

The vineyards are located in the communes of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet with a South, Southeast and Southwest exposure.

Comes from the lands of the Jurassic (175 million years ago), on thin soils, alternating marls, marly limestones and stones.

Chardonnay. The pruning is done in Guyot (Poussard) with various green work (disbudding, trellising, topping). The average age of the vines is 50 years.

Vinification

Manual harvesting, sorting on vines. In the winery, after a slight crushing, the grapes are pressed using our pneumatic presses. Following a slight settling, the grape must is put into 228-liter French oak barrels (15% to 20% new barrels) in which alcoholic and malolactic fermentations will take place in yeasts and indigenous bacteria. The aging is done on fine lees for 18 months. Without mashing. A month before bottling, the wine from the different barrels is racked in vats. Bottling according to the rhythms of the lunar and biodynamic calendar is preceded by a slight fining and a slight filtration
