Volnay
1er Cru Champans
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
Terroir located mid-slope and sheltered from the wind by the village. Limestone brown soil with relatively little clay, sitting on a pearly slab. The slight slope and the gravel cover allow good drainage and uniform maturity of the grapes. Great value terroir.
