Details

Five parcels of vines on a very limestone soil go into producing this Chassange-Montrachet white wine. The 2 principle parcels are situated not far from the village and have the charming names, 'La Bergerie' and 'Le Chene'.

Wine making

The grapes are hand-picked. Pressed, the juice is then fermented in French oak barrels (25% new). The wine is barrel aged until the following summer. In this way, the wine has time to integrate and confirm its personality. Bottled at the winery after aging for 11-12 months.
