Very stony, cool terroir. but with some topsoil so easier to work.

VITICULTURE

Organically farmed, soils are worked, green harvest, all fruit is hand-harvested.

Slow pressing, Indigenous yeast fermentation in tank.

AGING

Aged 11 months in 50% tank and 50% wood (30% new) then into tank on the lees for a couple of months before bottling.

PRODUCTION

45 cs annually

NOTES

Given the location near Auxey Duresses, vineyards are cooler and thus allowed to ripen longer on the vine. As a result, it gives the wine good focus, minerality and tension. Otherwise, classic Meursault aromas of ripe apples and pears with a touch of honey and hazelnuts.
