TERROIR
2023 vintage
This 0.25ha plot is located in the commune of Vergisson at an altitude of 410 meters (7,500 vines/ha). Planted in 1985, it benefits from an eastern exposure and a 15% slope on shallow limestone soil.
At the level of
wine-making
The hand-harvested grapes are gravity-fed into pneumatic presses, and we use long pressing cycles to preserve aromatic finesse. The must is cold-stabilized, then decanted and transferred to barrels for fermentation. The 19-month aging process includes 10 months in barrels that have held four or more vintages, followed by 9 months in tanks. We do not use SO2 on the grapes themselves; we only use it during the aging process to ensure the wine’s stability.
100% CHARDONNAY
For the
Tasting
The nose opens with aromas of fresh apricot and notes of toasted sesame; the palate has a fresh attack with aromas of yellow fruits, nectarine, and a beautifully balanced, full finish.
