Chassagne-Montrachet
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
If we are on the side of Santenay (deeper and more clayey soil), or on the side of Puligny (light and pebbly soil), the wines produced will be different. This cuvee is produced from own vineyards ( Houillères and Pierres), but also the purchase of the grapes on the terroir of Charrières, Les Blanchots Dessous, Les Benoites, Les Mazures-et-Voillenots.
