Location
This Premier Cru Saint-Aubin comes from carefully selected plots on the hillsides of the Côte de Beaune, within the AOP Saint-Aubin Premier Cru appellation. With ideal southeast-facing slopes, the vineyards benefit from optimal sunlight that promotes balanced ripening of the Chardonnay grapes.
Terroir
The vineyard sits on clay-limestone soils, a signature of the Saint-Aubin Premier Cru terroirs. The mix of limestone marl and fine clay offers excellent water retention and imparts tension, elegance, and depth to the wine.
In the vineyard
The vines are farmed with a strong focus on plant balance and sustainable viticultural practices. Soil management is regular, and treatments are carefully adapted to preserve both vineyard health and authentic terroir expression.
Harvest
The grapes are hand-harvested at full maturity, allowing a careful selection of the healthiest and most expressive bunches. Harvested fruit is gently transported to the winery to protect its integrity.
Winemaking
After gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks or large oak casks, using indigenous yeasts to fully express the character of the fruit and terroir. Intervention is minimal, respecting the purity of the juice.
Ageing
The wine is aged for around 12 months in a combination of tanks and French oak barrels, some of which are new or lightly used. This process adds aromatic complexity while preserving the wine’s freshness and vibrancy.
