Origin

Established in 1937, the regional appellation "Bourgogne" appellation controlée covers approximately 1000 hectares on all wine growing areas from Burgundy.

The appellation area spreads across 384 villages of the Yonne, Côte d’Or, Saône-et-Loire, and Rhône departments.

Starting in the North, from the region of Chablis and Auxerre, to the South in the region of Macon, and passing through the Côte d’Or and the Côte Chalonnaise, the Bourgogne wines stem from very diverse terroirs.

This wine mostly comes from the foothills vineyards. The relief shape from the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais regions gives soils blended with lime, clay and marl, with granitic nuances at the very South of the Saône-et-Loire department.

Vinification and maturing

The grapes are first sorted and then pressed when they arrive at the winery. The musts are settled and then vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats using selected yeasts. The vinification temperature is between 16° and 18°C, allowing optimum extraction of the wine's aromatic potential. Ageing continues in stainless steel vats for 80% of the blend and in oak barrels for the remaining 20%, on the lees for 6 to 8 months. Malolactic fermentation is complete, making the wine more supple.

Vintage : 2024

One year follows another and no two are alike. After a generous and fairly mild 2023 vintage, 2024 was long, temperamental and rainy for our vineyard team. Rain was an integral part of their daily routine from autumn 2023 and throughout the vegetative growth of the vines. It took a lot of effort to contain mildew and weeds in the plots. Flowering went slowly but smoothly in the 1st half of June.

Until mid-June, temperatures fluctuated between normal and cool, with frost in some areas in April. It was only when summer came around that we were able to enjoy seasonal, even warm, temperatures.

In terms of Burgundy as a whole, the Côte Chalonnaise came out on top in terms of both the quantity and quality of the grapes harvested. Even if all these climatic hazards had an impact on the yield, we harvested grapes with very well-balanced ripeness and airy bunches. After meticulous sorting and fine vinification work, we're delighted with the quality of our wines. The whites are well-balanced, fresh and flavoursome. The reds are straightforward, fruity and elegant.
