History
Grape variety
Vinification and maturing
The grapes were pressed in a pneumatic press to squeeze out their juice.
This juice was left to settle at cold temperatures between 16 and 24 hours maximum in order to remove impurities. The alcoholic fermentation took place in vats to allow for a better control of temperatures, key element in our search for pure color and bright aromas.
Then, just before the fermentation ended, the wine was casked into oak barrels (including 20% new oak) to age on its lees for 9 months with occasional stirring (about twice a month).
Tasting notes
Nose: fruity aromas (apricot) with discreet and delicate woody notes.
Palate: a very fruity wine, well-balanced with a nice aromatic persistence.
Wine and food pairing
This wine will be perfect paired with charcuterie platters (ham or pâtés) or sea food (scallop-shells, salmon). It can also be drunk with hot first courses, such as quiches and pies, or with dry cheeses (goat’s cheese for instance).

Vintage : 2019
inspired enthusiasm amongst winemakers, surpassing expectations.
The weather was hot and dry, but the wines are promising a freshness that will delight fans of Bourgogne wines, with an indulgent side to boot.
Since the start of the 20th century, every vintage that has ended with a “9” has been wonderful. The only downside to this one is below-average volumes.
