Production area
Grapes are harvested throughout Burgundy in selected vineyards totalling a surface of about 854,19 hectares.
Origins
Burgundy’s soil is clay-limestone based, yet it varies considerably from village to village. It gives the winemaker a part all the more important to play when selecting the grapes : his knowledge will lead him in his selection, to combine the terroirs and chisel the aspects he is looking for : fruit, complexity, roundness, etc. This is particularly true for the Chardonnay varietal which is strongly influenced by the “taste” of the terroir.
Varietal
100% Chardonnay
Tasting notes
COLOR: Bright and clear yellow, with green lights
NOSE: Wonderfull nose of fresh lemon with a hint of white flowers on a backdrop of toasted almonds
PALATE: Great balance between freshness and roundness. Delicate aromas of citrus mix with a beautiful mineral substance and a touch of honey.
Vinification and maturing
Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks to keep the fruit and freshness. Then, a 6-months-barrel ageing period follows that brings richness and texture to the wine.
Food and wine pairing
This wine can be enjoyed alone, as an aperitif, or during the meal with deli meat platters or fishes with creamy sauces.

Vintage : 2014
Winter was cold and rainy throughout Burgundy; the vineyards even suffered from frost in April. But a warm and dry spring made it up for it and was perfect for the flowering. Despite some shattering we already had a good feeling about this vintage harvest potential.
As we thought of it as an early vintage, the summer came but the sun seemed to drift away...and we lost the head start we had. Luckily for us, the weather improved in September. A beautiful "Indian summer" settled and the grapes could finish their maturation. Harvesting began in mid-September (variable according the areas) under a bright sun. The grapes were healthy, ripe and held a good aromatic potential.
The white wines are well-balanced, very "Ropiteau styled" with pure fruity aromas with floral fragrances
