Ageing
"Our care takes into account the origin of each wine: stainless steel vats to enhance fruit and freshness in Chablis and Mâconnais, oak barrels to develop complexity and finesse in Côte d'Or".

"We gently use new oak and the barrels are made from oak trees individually picked by us in the forests; we let them weather for three years so that all coarse tannins can be eliminated".
"The barrels to be used and the length of time the wines will spend in them are determined according to the appellation and the vintage. Since younger barrels give out more tannin, they will be used only for wines that will gain from it".

"Together with Jérôme Faure-Brac (Joseph Drouhin's enologist), we taste and evaluate each wine on a daily basis so as to follow its evolution. No wine is bottled unless it receives the approval of the Drouhin family".
