Bâtard-Montrachet
Grand Cru - Récolte du Domaine
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

A wine subtly balanced between finesse, power and richness. It reveals toasted notes and dried fruits, with almost camphorated nuances of plant essences, offering a remarkable aromatic complexity and a beautiful depth in the mouth.
