The vine

  • Plot /climat

    Longbois

  • 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

  • March was sunny and budburst happened too early. 5th of April frost made big damages in Puligny. Flowering occurred lately, with wind and rain, many flower aborted, confirming a low yield vintage. Fortunately, summer was hot and dry, enhancing maturation and sugar concentration by the end of summer. Harvest started 13th of September. White wines are generous and fruit driven, but high acidity gives a good concentration and length. Red wines benefited from the hot summer with a complex bouquet and round tanins.
