An exceptional white Burgundy from an estate that has been making wine since 1604 and is one of the first estates to bottle their wines in the region. With a focus on quality, all the attention is focused on the vines. Plowing, natural grassing and hand-harvesting are just the beginning of the rigors practiced throughout the year. The grapes were fermented in oak with natural yeasts and then aged a year further. The oak was 30% new.

It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
