- The 2022 vintage experienced intense weather, including frost, heatwaves, and drought at different stages of the growing cycle. Despite these challenges, the vines produced abundant wine with a well-balanced and fresh palate. This wine, with its complex mix of herbaceous, floral, and citrus notes, along with mineral accents, offers a delightful experience for wine enthusiasts globally.
The grapes underwent careful, manual sorting before being pressed in a pneumatic press, which allows perfect juice extraction while respecting the grapes' integrity. The alcoholic fermentation started in stainless steel vats to better homogenize the cuvée and obtain significant turbidity. After three to four days, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels of second or third use with temperature control for long ageing on the fine lees without stirring.
A complex array of herbaceous, floral, and citrus notes is layered with mineral accents, resulting in a full-flavoured palate of wonderful length.

| Winery | A close neighbour of Montrachet, lying between Chassagne and Puligny, Saint-Aubin is a village in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune, which was granted recognition in 1937. The vines are mainly planted on the right flack of the wide coomb, which snakes its way up towards La Rochepot. The appellation area is spread over two different hill ranges: the Montagne de Savoie, which delimits the end of the Cote d’Or, and the other is the Montagne du Ban, which is perpendicular to it. The vineyard slopes are steep in places and are planted at elevations of 300 to 350 meters, with an eastern or southeastern orientation to optimize the vine’s exposure to sunlight and encourage the ripening of the grapes. Chardonnay grapes flourish in white clay soils with a high limestone content, which contributes to producing fresh, elegant wines. The vines are hand-harvested. |
