Chassagne-Montrachet

Houillères

This name derives from the vineyard located in a humid ground.

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

Plot located in the northern part of the appellation, close to Puligny from which it takes its minerality. It comes from one of our own vineyards, planted in 1952 and a neighboring plot.
