A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.
Vineyard
Probably rightly, the most famous Chablis 1ers Crus. Located on the right bank of Serein and in the continuation of the Grands Crus, this terroir is on a "Kimméridgien" limestone. It produces wines a little austere in their youth but their elegant and racy development charms the taster. Our cuvee comes from the blending of grapes of Montée de Tonnerre and the area of Chapelot.
