The wine
Description
100% Chardonnay, handpicked grapes, vinified and produced,half and half in oak casks and stainless steel vats.
Taste
Pale gold robe with green highlights. A luscious wine with aromas of orchard fruits and citrus. Vat aging gives it a balanced and lively mouth, with a shorter persistency than that of neighboring Puligny wines.
Serving temperature
12/14°C. It is recommended to decant recent vintages so as to enhance the aroma.
The vintage
- The mild Winter meant that vegetation growth started early; we began debudding mid-April and with fine sunny weather the vine developed and flourished gradually in good conditions. The Summer was very dry which accelerated the maturing process with a lower yield but a high aromatic concentration for the Pinot Noir grape; for the Chardonnay however, the conditions were satisfactory for both growth and maturity. The grape harvest commenced on 20 August. The white wines follow the true burgundy tradition with good intensity and citrus notes, fresh and mineral in the mouth
