Clay and limestone.
Chardonnay. Guyot pruning with different yearly works in the vineyard (pruning, trellising on wires/tying-in, thinning fruit-bunches). The vines are 45 years old.
Vinification
Manual harvest, 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% new barrels) in which alcoholic and malolactic fermentations will take place in yeasts and indigenous bacteria. Aging is done on fine lees for 16 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
Tasting notes
On the palate a great minerality with a beautiful fullness, a long and saline finish. One of the most mineral wines among the "villages" of the Côte de Beaune compared to Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault.
Pairings
Crustaceans, sole meunière, langoustines, white meat.
Service

Sale point : the perfect elegance from Chardonnay in Burgundy. When you are looking for a complex and fine wine, it is the wine to choose. We can talk about a crystal wine.
