The grapes were gently pressed and then racked to barrel where fermentation took place using natural yeasts. The wine was kept on its fine lees and underwent batonnage to impart texture and complexity to the wine. Malolactic conversion took place in barrel. The wine was 100% barrel-aged for 12 months, in traditional 228-litre Burgundian barrels of which 25% were new oak. The wine was then transferred to tank where it spent a further six months, prior to being lightly fined, filtered and estate bottled.

| Winery | The vines are grown in a singe vineyard plot 'Le Bievaux l’air de Rien', which is one of the best plots in Santenay for Chardonnay. The characteristics of the soil and subsoil are very close to those of several Grand Crus from the Cote de Beaune nearby; the specific microclimate here provides ideal conditions to produce complex wines. The vineyard is sustainably and organically farmed, although it is not certified and some of the biodynamic philosophies are also followed. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully sorted prior to vinification |
