The vine
Plot /climat
La Garenne (total surface area 9ha 87a)
History
In the middle ages, « garenne » meant a wooded hunting area belonging to a local landowner or monastery.
Soil
Thin, stony top soil on a layer of limestone rock.
Our plot(s)
22a 15ca planted between 1935 and 1992.
The wine
Description
100% Chardonnay from handpicked grapes; vinified and raised in oak casks.
Taste
The location of this plot gives the wine its intensity and mineral notes together with aromas of white flowers and almonds; it is well structured, smooth and fresh and can benefit by laying down for a few years.
Serving temperature
12/14°C. It is recommended to decant recent vintages so as to enhance the aroma.
The vintage
- After a very cold winter the vegetation growth started quickly as from end of march. The 28th-29th frost had luckily not too much effect on our vines. They started to bloom beginning of june. Alternating cool and very hot spells in july and august made it difficult to decide the right tile for harvest. Finally we started on the 4th of September. Gold in colour the grapes were in perfect conditions ; the wines have a strong aroma and in the mouth, are well balanced, full and rich intasted.
