Winemaking Slow pneumatic pressing of grapes. Grape
must is gravity fed into vats (not by pumps),
then undergoes a maceration on grapes skins;
fermentation is in stainless steel thermo-
regulated vats for up to 3 weeks with aging on
fine lees for added depth and complexity,
followed by fining and light filtration.
Winemaker Arnaud Bouchie-Chatellier is a graduate of
the Lycée Viticole de Beaune. He is the
fourth generation of family to guide the estate.
Tasting Note A complex full-bodied complex wine with
ripe herbaceous and gunflint aromas.
Concentrated green fruit and citrus flavors are
balanced by crisp acidity – a long mineral
finish.
Wine Spectator A mellow, mature style, with a creamy texture
carrying brioche, lemon curd and chamomile
notes. This has good length, though turns a
touch soft at the end. Drink now. 830 cases
