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 soils in the vineyard are a combination of limestone and clay, which help to retain moisture during dry weather, but also offer good drainage in cooler weather. The vines are cultivated according to the traditional methods of the AOC and are carefully tended with utmost respect for the terroir and environment. Once they have reached optimum maturity, the grapes are picked by hand.
