- A silky and pure expression of Chambertin, with perfumed notes of red and dark berried fruits complemented by floral and delicate spicy notes through to a long, opulent finish. The 2022 season was characterised by abundance and excellence. The season started early, with bud-break at the beginning of April. Flowering in mid-June occurred under sunny and warm weather, followed by a rapid fruit set. Summer was hot and mostly dry, although periodic rain refreshed the vines. Harvest started on 25th August under good conditions, producing wines with balancing acidity and good concentration.
The whole fruit bunches underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks with wild yeasts, lasting for three weeks. Vinification took place without a cool pre-fermentation; however, the final fermentation took place at warm temperatures, gently coaxing out the colour, flavour and aromatics. The wine was gently pumped over by gravity, and punching down took place in the traditional manner of foot. Maturation lasted 14 months in 228-litre French oak barrels from a blend of different forests in Central France. 100% new oak.

Winery | The grapes come from a single plot within the Chambertin Grand Cru appellation. The vines are planted on an average gradient of 8%. They are located at an elevation of 280 metres above sea level, where the continental climate offers warm sunny days and cool nights, naturally imparting balancing acidity to the grapes. The soils are made up of clay and limestone, with a layer of thin stones, which offer an ideal balance of water retention properties from the clay, while the limestone imbues the wines with elegance. Cultivated according to traditional methods, the vines are planted at a density of 10,000 vines per hectare. They are pruned, retaining a large and aerated canopy for sun protection during the warmer vintages of late. They are sustainably farmed with practices such as using fresh compost from local farms to nourish the vines. General treatments include copper and sulphur, and mechanical ploughing occurs to maintain the vineyard soils. Hand harvested. |
