Origin
The appellation area spreads across 384 villages of the Yonne, Côte d’Or, Saône-et-Loire, and Rhône departments.
Starting in the North, from the region of Chablis and Auxerre, to the South in the region of Macon, and passing through the Côte d’Or and the Côte Chalonnaise, the Bourgogne wines stem from very diverse terroirs.
This wine mostly comes from the foothills vineyards. The relief shape from the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais regions gives soils blended with lime, clay and marl, with granitic nuances at the very South of the Saône-et-Loire department.
Vinification and maturing
Fermentation in stainless-steel vats at controlled temperature (between 18 and 20°C) to preserve the fruit. Bottling after 6 months aging on lees, including a part in oak barrels (with 15% new oak).
Vintage : 2023
The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.
The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.
The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.
In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
