Situation géographique et terroir
Santenay is the southernmost village of the Côte de Beaune, producing red wines renowned for their tannic structure. The vineyard is located in the place called Les Prarons, above on the hillside overlooking the Premier Cru “Gravières”. This high altitude location allows us to obtain fresh and tonic Pinot Noir wines.
Vinification
The grapes are sorted, de-stemmed and then gently conveyed into the vat on a belt, without pumping. 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 we punch down the cap daily. The wine is then put into barrels, and the malolactic fermentation is carried out in full.
Lightly toasted so-called blonde, 30% new barrels
