Production Details Organic farming. The cool, rainy season brought early-April budbreak, mid-June flowering, mid-August veraison and a gradual ripening cycle; mild harvest conditions and a warm northerly wind in mid-September helped concentrate sugars. Daily punch-downs accompanied the 19-day vatting period, and maturation lasted 16–18 months in French oak barrels. Organic certification is stated to begin with the 2025 vintage, not this 2024 vintage.
Tasting Notes Deep ruby; small red fruits, spice and flowers; opulent and elegant with silky, smooth tannins

Production Details The estate's second fully organic season. Two-stage pruning was used as frost protection; Pinot Noir budbreak occurred around April 20, rapid flowering followed in early June, and regional green harvesting reduced Côte de Nuits yields by about 30% without establishing this vineyard's yield. Healthy, aromatic grapes were harvested during a heatwave. Daily punch-downs accompanied the 19-day vatting period, followed by 16–18 months in French oak. Organic certification was expected beginning with the 2025 vintage.

Production Details Organic farming. A mild winter and limited April frost were followed by mid-April budbreak, a very hot and dry May, and beneficial summer water reserves; harvest occurred in sunshine with healthy, intensely fragrant grapes at average sugar levels. The proportion of destemmed fruit and whole clusters varied with the vintage, but no 2022 percentage is given. Daily punch-downs accompanied the 19-day vatting period, followed by 16–18 months in French oak. The sheet's storm narrative anomalously says June 2023 and is not treated as a 2022 event date.
