VINEYARD

‘Les Chevrières’ is amongst the 22 parcels that earned the status of Premier Cru thanks to its exposure and clay-limestone soils. The vines are planted up above the hill of Chaintré, they are certified Organic and produce grapes of incredible concentration and finesse.

WINEMAKING

After a gentle pressing in pneumatic press, the wine is aged in 228L oak barrels of 3 to 4 wines and ¼ is new. Fermentation happens with natural yeasts and the wine is aged during 12 months before being filtered lightly and bottled.

TASTING NOTES

This is one of the most prestigious whites of the Mâconnais, a blend of power, finesse and minerality. Delicate aromas of white flowers, fresh pear and white peach. On the palate, this is a wine with richness, zesty freshness and depth. A high-quality Chardonnay with cellaring potential.
