Chassagne-Montrachet

In Chassagne-Montrachet, large marble stone quarries form a rocky front: in Paris, the Trocadéro or more recently the Louvre Pyramid used this stone in pink or beige paving.

After a cold and dry start to the year, temperatures rose quickly at the end of March, triggering a rapid resumption of the growing cycle. A few morning frosts impacted part of the vineyard at the end of April but without major damage. The flowering period takes place in a few days at the beginning of June in superb weather. The summer is hot and sunny but delivers some welcome storm rain to help the plant enter the veraison stage. The harvest takes place at the beginning of September with ideal weather and impeccable health quality of the grapes.

Vineyard

When on the Santenay side (deeper and more clayey soil), or on the Puligny side (light and pebbly soil), the wines produced are different. This cuvee is a blend of our own vineyards (Houillères and Pierres), and grapes purchases on the terroirs of Charrières, Blanchot Dessous, Les Benoites, Les Mazures-et-Voillenots.
