The Burgundy AOC covers 384 communes in the Yonne, Côte-d'Or, Saône-et-Loire and Rhône departments, stretching from Chablis and Auxerrois in the north to Mâconnais in the south, via the Côte d'Or and Côte Chalonnaise. This white Burgundy is a blend of Chardonnay from various origins, combining the freshness and minerality of northern wines, the fullness and roundness of Mâconnais and Côte Chalonnaise wines, and the power and complexity of Côte d'Or wines.

The varied soils include limestone hillsides, sometimes chalky or Kimmeridgian in the north, marly limestone in the Côte-d'Or and clay with hints of granite in Saône-et-Loire.

The grapes, rigorously sorted in the vineyard and in the winery, are pressed. Cold settling (24 hours at 8-10°C) separates the lees from the sediment. After racking, the clear juices ferment in stainless steel vats at 16-18°C with selected yeasts.

After fermentation, 50% of the cuvée is aged in stainless steel vats and 50% in oak barrels, all on lees for 6-8 months. Blending takes place before bottling.

The ideal climatic conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early harvest in autumn, played a decisive role in the good yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at the time of harvest.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and beautiful liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruits, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and balanced, with aromas of red and black fruits, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins provide an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In summary, these are expressive and fruity wines with very beautiful aromatic profiles.
