Chassagne-Montrachet

1er Cru Clos Saint-Marc - Récolte du Domaine

This word points out the clos which is located near the church, dedicated to Saint-Marcel.

A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.
