Montagny

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.

From tears of rain to tears of wine, a year as trying as it is moving! 2024 will be remembered… Marked by record rainfall and omnipresent humidity, it put winegrowers to the test. Despite vigilance and hard work in the vines, mildew took over, strongly impacting yields. Significant disparities appeared between terroirs: more draining soils were better able to resist disease pressure. Fortunately, after harvest, the quality of the wines came as a nice surprise. Freshness and radiance are there, offering a precious reward after a season of challenges.

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).
