Description

The plot of this Premier Cru "Les Chenevottes" dominates the strip of the hill occupied by the Grand Cru "Montrachet". The soil composition, exposure and orientation are common to both vineyards, making this Premier Cru extremely attractive to all those in search of hidden gems. "Les Chenevottes" is derived from the Old French word for "hemp", "cheneve", with the addition of the suffix -otte, which in Burgundy often marks the expression of an affection. It was therefore probably, at the time the place was named, a field of hemp which adjoined the old village, which then extended as far as the neighboring parcel "Les Macherelles".

Press note

Terre de Vins
| novembre 2022

Sélection de fin d'année . Avec Saint-Aubin et le Montrachet pour voisins, le climat des Chenevottes produit des blancs complexes et minéraux. La bouche est citronnée, tendue, digeste, accompagnée d'accents miellés. Très "verticale", la trame se dévoile pas à pas et se prolonge longuement, sur des notes iodées. A déguster avec une bourriche d'huîtres.
