Like Chablis appellation, the main bedrock comes from the Jurassic epoch, or more precisely the Kimmeridgean age (150 million years ago).

The 34 hectares of the Mont de Milieu “umbrella” vineyard are located on the right bank of the River Serein in the communes of Fleys and Fyé. It enjoys a geographical situation comparable to those of the grand crus and its south/south-east aspect guarantee extremely good sunshine.

The term "Mont de Milieu" corresponds to an ancient separation between Burgundy and Champagne, still symbolized today by the presence of a stone marker erected at the top of this hill.

The grapes were brought in as musts and underwent a slow pneumatic pressing followed by a very cold static settling before alcoholic fermentation, which lasted 10 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks (18 to 20°C). After 3 days, 25% of the juice was racked into barrels. Aged for 12 months on its lees, with frequent pumping over. 100% malolactic fermentation. Light filtration before bottling.
