Tasting notes
Pale shiny gold. Very expressive on the nose with fresh, sharp aromas supported by floral notes, a superb but very mellow oak presence and a hint of fresh hazelnuts. The palate has a lovely structure and balance, with fresh floral aromas as well as hints of white peach and minerality. A wine of great precision. The wine was aged on its lees and spent 13 months in oak, of which 20% was new, before bottling.
Estate
One of Burgundy's largest wine Domain's. Its prestigious heritage, which comprises a remarkable
Chateau with a glazed tile roof and 90 hectares of vineyards, is the product of a time-old legacy
that is closely tied to the history of the Burgundy wine region. This remarkable chateau, with its
varnished tiles, is a spectacular piece of heritage closely tied to the region's history. Its
vineyards are split between the Cote d'Or and Cote Chalonnaise. The diversity of its 'climats' results
in a rich palette of wines with distinctive styles that reflect the subtleties of the Burgundy varietals.
The estate began its organic conversion in 2021 across its 100 hectares of owned vineyards and has been certified since the summer of 2024. The 2024 vintage is the first produced under organic farming.
