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 from slope formations: weathered bedrock, various colluvial debris, and silt over “chailles” (limestone pebbles). These pebbles provide excellent drainage, making these relatively fertile soils favorable for early and optimal ripening of the grapes.
Terroir
Soil: clay-limestone with chailles and slope-derived deposits
Topography: well-drained, promotes early grape maturation
In the vineyard
Manual soil work. In organic conversion (C1 stage).
Harvest

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. Static cold settling for about a week before racking off lees. Wine then transferred to barrels.
