Chassagne-Montrachet
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.
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, Blanchots Dessous et Morichots.
