Situation géographique et terroir
This vineyard is situated at an altitude of between 300 and 400 metres. The vines grow on the slopes of the valleys incising the Jurassic limestone plateaux to the west of the Côte-de-Nuits. The composition of the soil is identical to that of the Côte-de-Nuits, but the surface formations are very thin, or even non-existent. The clay-limestone soils result from the alteration of the limestone and marl of the substratum.
Vinification
The grapes are sorted, de-stemmed and carefully transferred to the vat on a conveyor belt. Before fermentation, we carry out a cold maceration at 10°C for 4 to 5 days. Vatting lasts between 18 and 20 days, during which time we punch down the cap or pump over the skins, monitored by daily tastings. The press juice and free-run juice are blended in stainless steel vats and lightly settled before being matured in vats and barrels, where malolactic fermentation takes place (the wine is then placed in vats and put into barrels, before undergoing full malolactic fermentation).
Light blond toast, 20% new barrels.
