Chablis
1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre
The season begins with a mild and dry winter, leading to an early start to the growing cycle. A significant episode of frost occurred on the Chardonnay on April 5 then on the Pinot Noir on April 14, causing a harvest loss (30% to 50%). A cooling at the beginning of June leads to capricious flowering. This causes runoff and further reduces yields while concentrating the aromas. The hot summer induces water stress in certain places which delays the maturity of the grapes. Because the berries are small and few number, the sugar level in the grapes is naturally high but the lack of water helped maintain good acidity.
Vineyard
Probably rightly, the most famous Chablis 1ers Crus. Located on the right bank of Serein and in the continuation of the Grands Crus, this terroir is on a "Kimméridgien" limestone. It produces wines a little austere in their youth but their elegant and racy development charms the taster. Our cuvee comes from the blending of grapes of Montée de Tonnerre and the area of Chapelot.
