OriginsThe Bourgogne blanc appellation covers around 1,000 hectares spread across the entire Burgundy wine-growing region. The great diversity of terroirs found here means that the grape variety can be expressed in a wide range of ways, from flinty to buttery to acacia.
Our white Burgundy is mainly made from Chardonnay grapes harvested on selected terroirs in southern Burgundy: in the Mâconnais and Côte Chalonnaise. A small proportion of our cuvée also comes from vineyards in the Côte de Beaune.
The selection and vinification carried out by our teams is therefore very important in achieving a pure expression of Chardonnay in line with the House's expertise.
Vinification and maturingOnce the grapes had been sorted and destemmed, the must was extracted by pneumatic pressing, then cooled and left to settle for 24-48 hours. The juice was then brought to a temperature of 16-18°C. (61-64°F.) to start the alcoholic fermentation. The wine was then matured on its fine lees for 6 months, partly in stainless steel vats and partly in oak barrels, to give it all its suppleness and bring out its honeyed, subtly woody aromas.
