The Bourgogne rouge appellation covers around 2,000 hectares spread over the entire Burgundy wine-growing region, covering 384 communes. From the Chablis and Auxerrois regions in the north to the Mâconnais region in the south, via the Côte d'Or and Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy wines come from a wide variety of terroirs.

For our red Burgundy, the Pinot Noir grapes come mainly from selected vineyards in the south of Burgundy, in the Côte Chalonnaise and Côte de Beaune and, to a lesser extent, in the Côte de Nuits.

It is at this stage, during the selection of terroirs and partner winemakers, that our winemaker plays a very important role, to enable the Pinot Noir to express itself perfectly while respecting the know-how and tradition of quality, elegance and prestige of the House.

The grapes are destemmed and then placed in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for fermentation (18 to 25 days). The pigments, tannins and aromas are gently extracted by regular punching down and pumping over. The free-run juice is blended with the press juice. The wine is then matured for 6 months, mainly in stainless steel vats, but some of it is aged in oak barrels (30% new oak) to round out the tannins and add complexity to the wine.

The Weather : Uncertain conditions, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.

The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
