Chassagne-Montrachet

1er Cru Dents de Chien

This name derives from a vineyard located below a sharp rock, which looks like the canine of dog.

The 2020 vintage is a unique vintage. It is marked by historic precocity from budburst, with an advance of 3 weeks, until the harvest which took place entirely in the month of August. High temperatures associated with a lack of precipitation cause a significant water deficit as well as evapotranspiration phenomena in July and August. The absence of rain, on the other hand, allows the health of the grapes to be very satisfactory. The particular conditions of this vintage generate wonderful balances.

Vineyard

A part of this terroir has been integrated in Montrachet in 1921.
