Winery | The vines are grown in the Bourgogne Chardonnay appellation, which benefits from a cool, continental climate, where warm sunny days during the ripening period are tempered by cool nights, which imparts a natural balancing acidity to the grapes. The grapes come from plots in the Mâconnais, Cote Chalonnaise, and Cote de Beaune, where the soils vary and offer subtle nuances from each terroir in the resulting blend. The vines are densely planted and cultivated with a large and aerated canopy according to traditional methods. They are sustainably farmed with practices such as using fresh compost from local farms to nourish the vines. General treatments include copper and sulphur, and mechanical ploughing occurs to maintain the vineyard soils. Once the grapes have reached optimum maturity, they are hand-harvested. |
