PRESENTATION
A terroir known as "Derrière le Mont", between Nantoux and Meloisey: orangey limestone soil, brown after ploughing, very stony with a high proportion of limestone. The bedrock often breaks through the surface and provides very little room for arable land.
WINEMAKING & GROWING
Harvesting by hand into crates, sorting on a vibrating table, traditional vinification with indigenous yeasts, a small proportion of the harvest (40%) is kept in whole bunches, aged in oak barrels for 10-12 months, with 20% new barrels, blending in stainless steel vats and bottling without filtration.
VITICULTURE
Vines planted at a density of 10,000 vines per hectare, Guyot Simple pruning, sustainable growing, carefully planned vineyard work and controlled yields.
TASTING
Wild strawberries, subtle black fruit and occasional fig aromas creating a big, silky mouthfeel. Good length and persistence on the palate. Suggested food pairing: fresh farmhouse cheeses or poached eggs in a red wine sauce.
