The vine
Plot /climat
Les Chardannes, Les Combottes, Les Bas-Doix
History
Les Chardannes derives from "chardons" (thistles), once found in the area. In Les Combottes, the ground was originally hollow ("combotte" = small combe). Doix comes from the Old French word for "water conduit," which explains why the plot is perfectly drained.
Soil
Les Chardannes and Les Combottes have rather deep clay soils. In Bas-Doix, the soil is thinner and stonier, located upstream from a pond.
Our plot(s)
These plots are located at the bottom of the slope. Les Bas-Doix lie just below Les Amoureuses and Les Hauts-Doix, close to Clos Vougeot. Les Chardannes are further north of the village, below Bonnes Mares.

The wine
Description
100% Pinot Noir from handpicked grapes and raised in oak casks.
Taste
The nose is expressive, showing crisp fruit with subtle wild notes. The mouth combines density, refined toasted nuances, and impressive length, revealing all the elegance of the terroir.
Serving temperature
15/16°C. It is recommended to decante recent vintages so as to enhance the aroma.
The vintage
- The end of the winter was very cold ; nice weather early april was the best contitions for buds to come out ; end of may, the vines are in bloom. Hot and dry conditions in july and august helped the grapes mature quickly. We started harvest on the 31st of august on Beaune Clos des Mouches white. Dark in colour, cassis or blackcurrant aromas, rich and concentrated sensation in the mouth, well balanced acidity and full tannins.
