1er Cru Vignes sur le Cloux

As everywhere in the vineyard, Clou or Cloux is to be compared to the term Clos meaning a closed place. Sur (above) and Sous (below) determine its position on the hillside.

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

An ideal terroir made of marly, or limestone and marly soils. This climate is steeply sloping and the rocks outcropping the hillsides above Buxy have the same origin than Chablis Terroir (Kimmeridgian).
