Saint-Romain
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
Pretty village overlooking la Côte de Beaune and turning its back on the vineyards of les Hautes Côtes. Planted on brown limestone soil where the rock is deep, the grapes have to be brought to a certain maturity obtained at the end of the season. Our vintage is produced from the terroirs of En Poillange, La Perrière, Combe Bazin, en Chevrot and Sous le Château.
