Montrachet
Grand Cru
Until the last day, the 2021 wine year is trying. Marked by severe episodes of frost between April 5 and 9 which significantly reduced the harvest, the vines awakening was difficult, and the months of April and May were rainy and cool. Until the harvest, which began on September 20, the brutal weather changes set their tempo: responsiveness and constant attention are necessary. Fortunately, the lull in June allowed the flowering to take place without incident and veraison was favored by good conditions which set in from mid-August.
Vineyard
This small terroir of 8 hectares is divided between Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. It is in the middle of the slope, on a brown limestone soil where drainage is very effective. The wine is subtle maybe because of the "Pholadomiya Bellona" marl which is very thick there. Our supply of grapes is located in Puligny-Montarchet in order to produce maximum 800 bottles every vintage.
