GRAPE VARIETY

Chardonnay, the emblematic variety of great white Bourgogne wines.

VINES

The vineyards of the Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise Appellation are found in the form of small “islands” between Chagny at the northern limit with the Côte de Beaune, and Saint-Gengoux-le-National in the south, bordering on the Mâconnais region. Our vineyards are East-South-East facing and source the characteristic appeal of our Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise in stony, shallow chalky-clay soil rich in limestone.

WINEMAKING AND MATURING

Crop harvested when perfectly ripe. Pneumatic pressing in order to maintain the quality of the juice. Measured settling of the must to reveal the richness of the terroir. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, along with some maturing in stainless steel vats, bring out the intensity of the flavours. Some maturing is also done in barrels to bring structure. Bottling at the optimum moment followed by a resting period before marketing.

TASTING NOTES

Pale golden colour with a bouquet of yellow-fleshed fruit (peach). A straightforward and satisfying white Bourgogne with a mineral finish. A delectable expression of the Chardonnay grape.
