    Vintage 2022

    "Warmest year since the beginning of the 20th century. Strong vine resilience"

    Despite a water deficit that began to be felt at the end of winter and high temperatures from May onwards, the vines developed very rapidly and by May 26, flowering was complete. 2022 reached the same level of earliness as 2020 at this stage.
    Rainfall in June (120 mm on average) compensated for some of the lack of water, and the hot summer did not block the vine cycle.
    Veraison was completed around August 15/20, and the few millimetres (20 mm) of rainfall in mid-August helped the grapes reach full ripeness.
    Harvesting began on 29 August.

  • Grape Variety & Plot size

  • Terroir

    Beautiful vineyard plot overlooking the city of Beaune.
    Clay-limestone soil with a predominance of Grèves (small pebbles) and sand. The silica in the sand stores warmth from the sun and is an important factor in ripeness. The wines are noted for their elegance and fruit.

  • Vinification & Ageing

    Whole bunches of grapes were handpicked into small crates and pressed in a pneumatic winepress.
    Alcoholic fermentation and ageing entirely in oak barrels 100% malolactic fermentation.
    Duration of barrel ageing :16 months
