Origin

Located in the north of Burgundy, in Yonne department, the appellation stretches over around 20 communes that cover the hillsides running alongside the pretty Serein Valley.

The vineyard enjoys an exceptional geological situation. The main bedrock comes from the Jurassic epoch, or more precisely the Kimmeridgean age (150 million years ago).

Deposits of tiny oysters can still be found today in the rock, remains of a time where the sea was totally covering this territory.

Vinification and maturing

Once arrived at the winery, grapes and must went through a long pneumatic pressing, followed by a settling of the juice and the alcoholic fermentation with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures (18 to 20°C / 64-68°F.) to preserve a maximum of fruit. The malolactic fermentation began rapidly after the alcoholic fermentation and was complete in January. The wine was then aged on the lees for 5 to 7 months.

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.
