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

  • The mild Winter meant that vegetation growth started early; we began debudding mid-April and with fine sunny weather the vine developed and flourished gradually in good conditions. The Summer was very dry which accelerated the maturing process with a lower yield but a high aromatic concentration for the Pinot Noir grape; for the Chardonnay however, the conditions were satisfactory for both growth and maturity. The grape harvest commenced on 20 August. The white wines follow the true burgundy tradition with good intensity and citrus notes, fresh and mineral in the mouth
