Chassagne-Montrachet
Rouge
Until the last day, the 2021 wine year is trying. Marked by severe episodes of frost between April 5 and 9 which significantly reduced the harvest, the vines awakening was difficult, and the months of April and May were rainy and cool. Until the harvest, which began on September 20, the brutal weather changes set their tempo: responsiveness and constant attention are necessary. Fortunately, the lull in June allowed the flowering to take place without incident and veraison was favored by good conditions which set in from mid-August.
Vineyard
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay have always grown on the territory of Chassagne. Deeper but stony soils are well suited to Pinot Noir with the famous Cordon Royat pruning system. Cuvée blend from our own vineyard: Dessous les Mues and purchases of grapes (Plante Saint Aubin, Voillenots, Goujonne).
