Special characteristic

The Chardonnay grapes for this wine are picked by hand usually in the early part of harvest season. Gentle whole-bunch pressing in a vertical press, followed by 11 months of maturation in 350-litre barrels, preferably without any bâtonnage (lees stirring). Use of no more than 50% new oak.

Fine, slightly reductive nose, with citrus, pear, peach and delicate oak notes. On the palate, this Bourgogne Blanc shows a hint of richness along with wonderful balance, lots of freshness and a juicy mouthfeel.

Guillaume and Camille own just over 0.1 hectares in Corvée aux Moines, a plot in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation. They bought this holding in 2022 – one of the first additions to their portfolio. The soil mainly consists of loam and limestone. Farmed organically and according to biodynamic principles, albeit without certification for the time being.
