Terroir: Within the DAVAYÉ region, 250-300 metres above sea level. Soil is argilo-calcareous. Vines: The average vine age is 25. Grape variety used is Chardonnay. Average return is around 60 hl/hectare. We produce around 17,000 bottles per year. Vinification: Produced in the traditional Burgundy style, with entirely manual grape harvesting and pneumatic pressing techniques. 70% of elevage is done in stainless steel tanks with the remaining 30% in oak. Both are thermo-regulated. Yeasts are naturally occurring to maximise the flavours of the terroir. Tasting: A wine with a golden-green robe, rounded and fruity on the palate. Demonstrates excellent floral notes of acacia, with hints of vegetable, aniseed and liquorice. Enjoyment: An elegant wine, great with fish, game, andouillettes and local goat’s cheese. Serve between 10 and 12 degrees. Laying Down: Fantastic now, or laid down for 3 to 5 years.
