Plot /climat

History
This parcel is an enclave in the woods above Champs Pimont.
Soil
Silty, very chalky, stony and not very deep.
Our plot(s)
30a and 54ca planted in 1987, and grafted in 2000. Situated at an altitude of 310m, this hilltop parcel is at the edge of the woods. Facing east/southeast, with a slight slope.
The wine
Description
100% Chardonnay from handpicked grapes; vinified and raised in oak casks.
Taste
The parcel's altitude produces straightforward, taut, mineral wines with notes of citrus and fresh fruit. A few Pinot Noir vines remain, giving the wine a certain roundness.
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.
