TASTING NOTES
The Premier Cru vineyard is situated in the southern part of the village, in close proximity to Santenay and above Les Morgeot. Its soil, rich in limestone marl and exposed to the south-east, enables the vineyard to produce wines renowned for their refreshing and mineral notes. The Chardonnay grapes were harvested and pressed with great care, with vinification carried out entirely in barrels at low temperatures to ensure the wines retain their fresh, mineral aromas. During maturation, a delicate bâtonnage was carried out to increase the wine's roundness and richness. After 16 months of ageing in barrels, 33% of which are new oak from Haute Bourgogne, the wine has an elegant oaky note. In the glass, it has a splendid golden yellow colour. The nose reveals notes of hazelnut and butter, followed by a floral bouquet with aromas of lemongrass, marigold and white flowers. The wine is fresh with notes of verbena and candied lemon, accompanied by pleasant acidity, salinity and subtle hints of flint. A hint of frangipani gives body to a well-balanced sip. Long, velvety and refreshing, this wine promises to evolve superbly.
