Tasting notes

This wine of character is elevated by a great aromatic intensity, dominated by tart berry flavors and enhanced by notes of earth and tanned leather. Its mouthfeel, clear and precise, is supported by a supple tannic structure that opens into a lingering finish.

The Vineyard

Located in the south of the appellation, the plot, facing the rising sun, features a brown soil of clayey nature, with a low rock content ; a rich, cool and deep terroir. This wine is produced using a blend of grapes coming from vines planted in 1970 and others planted in 1990.

The Vintage

2022 is synonymous with a vintage of great quality and the return of satisfying volumes. After a mild and dry winter, the growing season arrived early. Spared by the April frost, the warm spring accelerated plant growth, favoring early flowering and optimal fruit set.  After particularly dry spells during winter and spring, late June rains were timely. A hot, dry and at times scorching summer allowed for a good ripening, although in places the vines did react to hydric stress. Mid-August rainfall will be decisive by constant sunshine until the harvests, which started on 25th August in the Côte de Beaune and 2nd September in the Côte de Nuits.
