Origin
As their name suggests, these vineyards lie on higher elevations, to the west of the Côte de Beaune.
They spread across 926 acres in Côte d’Or and 370 acres in the Saône et Loire region, at altitudes ranging from 340 to 450 meters above sea level.
Vines grow on clay-limestone soils with some marl formations and slopes covered with limestone scree.
Vinification and maturing
Vintage : 2022
Uncertain weather conditions all the year long, but mild in the end throughout the season!
The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.
Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.
A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.
The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
