DESCRIPTION:

• • Both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are grown on the brown calcareous soil, the Chardonnay being found mostly on clay and limestone.
  • As in the rest of Burgundy, the continental climate, with its warm summer and mild fall, is very favorable to the good maturity of the grapes.
  • The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 250 to 370 meters (750 to 1110 feet).
  • The fermentation and the ageing of the wines take place in their cellars in Beaune.
  • Buying grapes (instead of already made wine) is preferable since it allows tight control on the quality and yield of the crop.
  • The grapes are always picked by hand and then gently pressed.
  • The juice ferments in barrels, a small percentage being of new oak.
  • A few weeks after the malolactic fermentation is completed, the wine is racked off its lees.
  • After several months of ageing in barrels (7 to 8 months), the wine is bottled.

GRAPE VARIETY:

• • 100% Chardonnay

FOOD PAIRINGS:

• • This exquisite wine, which goes so well with delicate fish and most shellfish, is also an excellent value.

TASTING NOTES:

“A wine full of charm! The color is a beautiful white gold, with a ravishing purity and brilliance. The aromas are fresh and fruity, with nuances of broom shrub (genêt), almond and delicious preserved citrus notes. On the palate, it is fresh and elegant. A long and delicious aftertaste makes for a lasting impression”. – Véronique Boss-Drouhin
