2023 Technical Specifications

Grape Varieties Chardonnay
Drinking Window Within 3 to 5 years
Region Chablis
Soil Kimmeridgian calcareous-clay soils
Orientation Various Exposures
Estate Grown Yes
Sites Grapes from 34 estate parcels with varied terroirs and exposures, vinified separately
Vine Age 38
Fermentation Vessels Thermoregulated stainless-steel vats
Production Details Estate grapes came from 28 ha divided among 34 parcels on gentle 5–20% slopes with varied exposures; the terroirs were vinified separately. Alcoholic fermentation took place in thermoregulated stainless-steel vats, followed by 10–11 months on fine lees in stainless steel. Producer serving guidance is 9–11°C. The sheet marks the wine as organic agriculture in conversion. In his 20 June 2024 tasting, James Suckling described the wine as unoaked and as having “13% plus alcohol”; this is critic context and not an exact finished-wine alcohol measurement.
Tasting Notes Candied lemon, subtle white flowers, a straight, chiseled and lively structure, and a mineral finish with saline and iodine notes; James Suckling’s 20 June 2024 tasting additionally noted crisp apple, lemon zest, banana and pineapple.
Food Pairing Aperitif; oysters, prawns, crab and other seafood
Critics Ratings 90

2022 Technical Specifications

Grape Varieties Chardonnay
Drinking Window Within 3 to 5 years
Region Chablis
Soil Kimmeridgian calcareous-clay soil
Orientation Various Exposures
Estate Grown Yes
Sites Grapes from 34 estate plots with varied terroirs and exposures, vinified separately
Vine Age 38
Fermentation Vessels Thermoregulated stainless-steel vats
Production Details Estate plots on gentle 5–20% slopes with varied exposures were vinified separately. Alcoholic fermentation was in thermoregulated stainless-steel vats, followed by 10–11 months on fine lees in stainless steel; serving guidance is 9–11°C. The sheet conflicts internally on vineyard area, stating 69 ha in its specifications but later 69 acres across 34 plots, so no settled hectare-area fact is proposed.
Tasting Notes Candied lemon, subtle white flowers, a neat, chiseled and lively structure, and a mineral finish with saline and iodine nuances
Food Pairing Aperitif; oysters, prawns and crab
