Chassagne-Montrachet

In Chassagne-Montrachet, large marble stone quarries form a rocky front: in Paris, the Trocadéro or more recently the Louvre Pyramid used this stone in pink or beige paving.

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

When on the Santenay side (deeper and more clayey soil), or on the Puligny side (light and pebbly soil), the wines produced are different. This cuvee is a blend of our own vineyards (Houillères and Pierres), and grape purchases on the terroirs of Charrières, Blanchot Dessous, Les Benoites, Les Mazures-et-Voillenots.
