Terroir

Beautiful vineyard plot overlooking the city of Beaune. Clay-limestone soil with a predominance of Grèves (small pebbles) and sand. The silica in the sand stores warmth from the sun and is an important factor in ripeness. The wines are noted for their elegance and fruit.

Vinification

Whole bunches of grapes were handpicked into small crates and pressed in a pneumatic winepress. Alcoholic fermentation and ageing entirely in oak barrels 100% malolactic fermentation. Duration of barrel ageing :16 months

Tasting Notes

COLOR: Luminous green-gold with silver highlights. NOSE: Floral, white flowers (acacia), white fruit (Williams pear), voluptuous. Aniseed notes. PALATE: Good sapidity, tension and energy on lemony, spicy notes. Very easy to digest on the finish.
