Situation Vines are located on plots from different parts of the village in order to offer a true blend of Chambolle Musigny. The main plot is “Bas Doix” (under 1er Cru “Haut Doix”) and the others are “Aux Echanges” (touching 1er Cru) , “Les Fremières” & “Les Jutruots” (top of the hill)

The grapes are hand-picked and 100% destemmed after sorting. Pre-fermentation maceration (12°C) for 5 days. Fermentation in temperature controlled vat with pumping-over and punching of the cap at the beginning. Warm post-fermentation maceration before the wine is put in barrels.

Ageing Free-run wine and press wine are aged separately. 18 months in oak barrels previously used for one vintage to avoid too much new oak influence and enable breathing. Malolactic fermentation. Bottling after a soft filtration, very little use of SO2.
