• Vineyard: the vines are located in the lower part of the hill of Santenay, in the south of the Côte de Beaune.
• Soil type: clay and limestone. The subsoil is composed of different limestone layers (pebbles, marly soils).
• Varietal: 100% chardonnay – Guyot pruning with different yearly works in the vineyard (pruning, trel lising on wires/tying-in, thinning fruit-bunches). The vines are 55 years old.
• Winemaking: the grapes are harvested by hand and sorted out when picking the grapes. The grapes are wholly pressed in a pneumatic press at a low pressure to get a slow extraction. After a cold settling and gentle racking of the must, the wine is put in French oak casks (15% of new oak) of 500 liters named “demi-muids”. The primary and malolactic fermentations can then begin with wild yeasts. The ageing is long on fine lees during 12 months. A month before the bottling, the wine from the different barrels is put in a stainless steel tank to make the blend. The wine is finally fined and gently filtered be fore bottling it following the lunar calendar (“fruit” day to get a wine on freshness and minerality).
• Tasting notes: the whites are dry and full-bodied. A fleshy wine with notes of dried and preserved fruits and honey combined with a nice acidity level which brings a nice balance and a good mineral length.
• To serve with: fish, shellfish or creamy white meat or for “aperitif”
