Presentation
At the crossroads of Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, the Domaine D’Ardhuy benefits from an exceptional viticultural heritage with parcels located on prestigious climates. This family house is committed to certified organic viticulture, valuing respect for soils and biodiversity. The vines, cultivated with meticulous care, produce high-quality grapes, sublimated by parcel vinifications. The reds, made from Pinot Noir, stand out for their elegant structure, with notes of black fruits, spices, and beautiful tannic depth. The whites, vinified in oak barrels, reveal all the finesse of Chardonnay, with a silky texture and great persistence. The Domaine D’Ardhuy establishes itself as an essential reference in Burgundy, producing precise, expressive, and aging wines.
Location
Clay-limestone soil made up of colluvium and silt over stony ground known locally as “chailles” (limestone pebbles) from the Buisson valley. This well-drained soil promotes faster ripening and earlier grape maturity.
Terroir
Soil: clay-limestone with limestone gravel
Topography: good drainage, early ripening site
In the vineyard
Manual soil work. In organic conversion (C1 stage).
Harvest

Winemaking
Sorted on a table, 100% destemmed. Fermentation in open, temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Cold pre-fermentation maceration for about 4–5 days. Alcoholic fermentation under cap with alternating pump-overs and punch-downs. Warm post-fermentation maceration for about a week (finishing around 30°C). Total vatting time: 18–20 days. Draining and pneumatic pressing of the marc. No separation between free-run and press juice. Cold static settling for about a week before racking to remove lees. Wine is then transferred to barrels.
