Terroir

Between Ladoix-Serrigny and the hillsides of the Maranges, the Côte de Beaune winegrowing region covers 20km from north to south. Facing the morning sun, these vineyards are never more than a few hundred meters wide. Yet they produce red and white wines that are internationally renowned.
A little farther to the west, behind the Côte de Beaune, the vines flourish on a gently concave plateau, 400m above sea level. This is the Hautes Côtes de Beaune. On the sunniest slopes, around 20 communes produce lively and accessible wines from the Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune appellation.

Winemaking

Hand picking harvest when grappes are fully ripe.
Slow alcoholic fermentation in oak casks, around 20 days at low temperature 19-22°C (66 - 72°F)
Ageing : Once the alcoholic fermentation is finished, this wine will go under malolactic fermentation in Spring, if the characteristics of the vintage allow. This wine will be aged in casks on fine lees with regular stirring.
