2024 Programme

Cuvée N° 747

◊ 2019. 75% of the harvest came from Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers, Champillon and 25% from Avize and Oiry. Winter was mild and dry. Spring frost struck three times and mainly caused damage to our Chardonnay vines, hence the predominance of the Pinots in this cuvee. Summer was dry with heatwaves that caused sunburn. We harvested a very high-quality crop with moderate yields from 12th to 22nd September. The wines are structured, balanced, long and complex. Respectful soil management and plant cultivation methods with the aim of expressing plot diversity. Vinification and ageing in large wooden vats on the lees without either filtration or fining.

A hot, dry and sunny September helped ripen the grapes to perfection. Harvest began on 15th September and lasted until 25th September resulting in a Chardonnay-dominant blend with excellent alcohol/acidity balance. The wines are very fine with lovely salinity and a mouth-watering vinosity. Respectful soil management and plant cultivation methods with the aim of expressing plot diversity.
