The wine

  • Description

    100% Chardonnay from handpicked grapes; vinified and raised in oak casks.

  • Taste

    Gold in colour with a greenish hue: on the nose it gives both floral and mineral notes and in the mouth, it is fresh and vivacious with a fine saline finish, typical of many wines from the Pernand fields.

  • Serving temperature

    12/14°C. Recent vintages may be decanted 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
