- The wine exhibits vibrant aromas characterized by juniper and minerality, complemented by oak notes that contribute to a beautifully clean and refreshing citrus finish. Antoine Olivier, established in the late 1960s, originated from a handful of vineyards passed down from Antoine Chevalier Moreau to his grandson, Herve Olivier. Herve's efforts in expanding the estate involved the procurement of historic, century-old vineyards throughout Santenay, specifically focusing on renowned white wine vineyards.
The grapes were gently pressed and racked to a barrel where fermentation took place using natural yeasts. The wine was kept on its fine lees and underwent bâtonnage to impart texture and complexity to the wine. The malolactic conversion took place in the barrel. The wine was 100% barrel-aged for 12 months in 350-litre barrels, of which 20% were new oak. The wine was then transferred to a tank where it spent six months before being lightly fined, filtered and estate bottled.
Lively citrus and exotic fruit aromas prelude a rich, full palate with delicate minerality and complementing oak. Harmoniously balanced with a mouthwateringly pure and citrus finish.

Winery | The grapes are exclusively from the single vineyard of ‘Saint Jacques’ in the Rully appellation, the most northern village in the Côte Chalonnaise. Saint Jacques was one of the first-named plots or ‘lieu-dit’ in Rully, which has become renowned for its high quality. The grapes are grown in mainly clay and limestone soils, producing round and appealing wines. The vineyard is managed with respect for the unique attributes of each site’s terroir and is farmed sustainably and organically, although it is not certified. Some biodynamic philosophies are also followed. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully sorted before vinification. |
