The Burgundy appellation covers 384 communes in the departments of Yonne, Côte d'Or, Saône-et-Loire and Rhône. The terroirs are varied, with chalky or Kimmeridgian limestone hillsides in the north, marly limestone in the Côte d'Or and clay with occasional granite touches in Saône-et-Loire.

This Burgundy is a blend of Chardonnay from old vines (around 50 years old) of various origins. It combines the freshness, minerality and liveliness of northern wines, the fullness and roundness of Mâconnais and Côte Chalonnaise wines, and the power and complexity of Côte d'Or wines.

The grapes are harvested by hand. After pressing the grapes, a fining and cold settling of 48 hours at 8-10°C is applied. A racking is then occurred to separate the clear juice from the bad lies. The wine is then placed into thermo-regular stainless steel tanks for the alcoholic fermentation at low temperature (16° to 18°C. / 60-64°F.).

Maturing process takes place on barrels (20% of the total blend on oak: 50% new barrels) and on stainless steel tank (80% on goods finest lies).
