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
- The end of the winter was very cold ; nice weather early april was the best contitions for buds to come out ; end of may, the vines are in bloom. Hot and dry conditions in july and august helped the grapes mature quickly. We started harvest on the 31st of august on Beaune Clos des Mouches white. Fine citrus aromas, well balanced between richness and freshness, without being too pronounced nor overmatured.
