Soil: clay and chalk dating from the Jurassic era are very favorable to the cultivation of the Chardonnay grape.

Tasting

by Véronique Boss-Drouhin

The colour of the wine is bright and limpid. The nose is floral and fruity. Very straightforward and direct on the palate, as if biting into a grape. Fresh and light, with a very pleasant aftertaste.

Vintage

The vagaries of the 2021 vintage have greatly affected yields, resulting in one of the smallest harvests Burgundy has ever seen. The whites are less opulent than previous vintages; they are well-balanced with lovely aromatics without excessive extravagance.

Vintage's comment

Winemaking-aging

Supply: this wine comes from grapes and musts purchased from supply partners according to rigorous specifications.

Harvest: grapes harvested by hands or with the grape harvester.

Vinification: pneumatic pressing, the whites go directly into vats after settling.

Ageing: the alcoholic fermentation and ageing are carried out in vats during 6 to 10 months.

Throughout the ageing process, decisions are taken only after careful tasting evaluation. The data obtained is completed through technical analysis. As with every other Joseph Drouhin wine, absolute priority is given to the true expression of terroir and character of the vintage.
