- Delicate floral notes are layered with citrus and ripe yellow fruits, leading to a palate combining an elegant and mineral structure with lively, lemony notes. 2022 was a classic Mâconnais-style vintage, with sunny weather during the ripening season, which led to an early harvest. Spring rainfall replenished the soil water reserves, contributing to the fruit's balanced profile at harvest. The wines are crisp, open, and expressive and show great minerality.
The grapes were gravity-fed into the press, where they were cooled. The must was transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, where it underwent fermentation with selected organic yeasts. The wine went through malolactic conversion, resulting in a softer mouthfeel. Ageing lasted eight months in stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of fruit and crisp freshness of the Chardonnay grapes.

| Winery | The Chardonnay grapes come from a blend of plots at the bottom of the finest slopes of the Saint-Veran appellation, neighbouring the vineyards of Pouilly-Fuisse. The vines are planted at 150 to 250 metres with various orientations and exposures to impart aromatic complexity. The soils are rich in limestone, which is generally alkaline, and produce bright, crisp wines with renowned elegance and expressive aromatics. The vines are pruned according to the simple Guyot method, which produces a balanced yield, with green harvesting taking place to keep yields low and concentrate the flavours in the grapes. The vineyard is ploughed mechanically, and every other row is left with grass cover to encourage biodiversity. |
