VINEYARD WORK
This parcel is carried out in organic farming, and is worked biodynamically
and with phytotherapy. The soils are sown in August to create a varied
plant cover (field beans, field peas, rye, oats, red clover, etc.) to promote
microbiological life.
A gentle pruning technique is used to encourage sap flow.
HARVEST METHOD
Harvested by hand and grapes are placed in small perforated boxes. This plot is always the last to be harvested. The harvest is sorted on a vibrating sorting table, and then by hand.
WINEMAKING PROCESS
This wine is made using 50-60 % whole bunches. The fermentation process
begins using the naturally present yeast, following a pre-fermentation cold
maceration process. Frequent pigeage, 3-4 times per day, to obtain maximum
extraction.
MATURATION
In oak barrels (30% new wood) for 16-18 months.
BOTTLING
We bottle our wines ourselves on the estate, with no fining or filtration,
and according to the lunar calendar, producing wonderfully clear wines
with the best possible flavours.

Tasting Notes
Great wine typical of Gevrey-Chambertin appellation. This full-bodied wine has great density as well as undeniable depth. You can forget it in the cellar and open it after a few years when its full potential has been reached. Its masculine traits will also delight your palate.
