Saint-Aubin

1er Cru Charmois

In Burgundy, this word refers to some old common fields cultivated then lied fallow, or planted with hornbeam trees.

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

Located on the side of Chassagne-Montrachet, this vineyard grows on white and very calcareous soils. The steep slope gives later maturity. It has become a very famous terroir for the last fifteen years.
