    Les Levrons

  • History

    A diminutive form, from the 14th century, of "lièvres" (hares), which were abundant in this area.

  • Soil

    Clay soils, deep and poorly draining. The presence of limestone alluvium can be seen in the numerous scree scattered across the plot.

  • Our plot(s)

    60a 40ca. Planted in 1947, this is our oldest Chardonnay plot. Some vines from this vineyard were selected for their high-quality planting material to be part of the "Conservatoire de Beaune," which aims to preserve the finest Burgundy vines. Southeast exposure, at an altitude of 230 meters. This area is particularly prone to frost, requiring special attention.

The vintage

  • Year 2021 : down in history for frost. The frost which hit the French winelands was the worst ever experienced. Our domain was seriously struck with a yield equivalent to a third of a normal grape harvest. The frost early in April, slowed down the growth rate of the vine which took time to recover in addition to which the season was marked by frequent periods of rain , beneficial for the life of the vine but complicating the control of mildew and oidium. It was not an easy season to manage right up to harvest time as from 18 September when again spells of rain did not facilitate matters ; nevertheless, healthy grapes were selected after careful sortation on picking and before processing such that on monitoring the maturity of the wine , its equilibrium is surprisingly satisfactory. The white wines are crisp and mineral with many citrus aromas, long and full in the mouth to different degrees depending on the vineyard.
