Productinformation
This wine is produced from grapes from two plots. The first is at the bottom of the hillside on fairly deep clay soil. The second is at the top of the hill on shallow soil composed mainly of limestone. It is the combination of the two terroirs that makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts.
Age of vines : 50 years on average
Yield and production : 35-45 hl/ha for an average annual production of 3,000 bottles.
Hand-harvested and scrupulously sorted, the wine is fermented in open stainless steel tanks for around three weeks, then matured in oak barrels, about 50% new, for 18 months.
This wine and Chambolle in general are characterised by elegance and extreme finesse, depth and silky, elegant tannic structure. The old vines provide unique character and concentration. Although only medium in colour, they release pronounced aromas of red fruit (raspberry, strawberry) complemented by violets and crabapple. The wines have light acidity and stand out for their fleshiness.
