- Showing all the hallmarks of classic Chablis, with lively citrus fruits layered with mineral overtones. Crisp and bone dry with a lovely supple texture through to a bright, fresh finish. Following the challenging 2021, 2022 was a warm vintage that presented good yields. After a milder and drier-than-usual winter, the spring frosts made a reappearance at the end of March. However, the extent of the damage was not comparable to 2021. The exceptionally warm spring with high temperatures in May encouraged vegetation and flowering, which occurred at the end of May under excellent conditions. Summer was hot and dry, resulting in healthy vineyards, excellent maturation, and a great balance between alcohol and acidity at harvest.
The grapes were carefully selected to ensure only the highest-quality fruit was vinified. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with selected yeasts. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was matured on its fine lees for six to eight months before being gently fined and filtered prior to bottling. This cuvée was produced in an unoaked style to showcase the purity of the fruit and the nuances of the terroir.

| Winery | The Chardonnay vines are planted on hillside plots, with free-draining soils, upon a Kimmeridgian clay-limestone subsoil, renowned for imparting the characteristic elegance and minerality to Chablis wines. The climate is continental, with cold winters allowing the vine to rest and the sap to descend and warm summers encouraging the grapes to ripen. The vines are trained according to traditional methods and are sustainably farmed; the estate is certified HVE, which officially recognises the environmental performance of winegrowers, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertiliser use, and water resource management. |
