Production Details The parcels have been farmed biodynamically since 2005 and are worked with Comtoise horses. Vinification is performed without pumps or sulphite additions. After severe sorting in 2023, the Pinot Noir was vinified as whole clusters. Maturation uses 90% Burgundy barrels that have held several wines and 10% new barrels in the producer's old Cistercian cellars. The producer's estate-level 2023 vintage note reports morning-only harvesting from 5–13 September; it does not isolate this cuvée's parcel dates.

First Fill New Oak10%
Production Details The parcels have been farmed biodynamically since 2005 and are worked with Comtoise horses. The producer describes pumpless vinification without sulphite additions and maturation in 90% Burgundy barrels that have held several wines plus 10% new barrels. Its standing method uses whole grapes except in frost or hail years, but the page identifies 2021 as a severe frost year and therefore does not establish whole-cluster use for this vintage. The estate produced about one-third of a normal crop, with extensive sorting. The producer's estate-level vintage note gives a harvest window of 17–30 September and describes the finished wines as elegant, low in alcohol and fresh, without a numeric analysis.

Production Details The parcels have been farmed biodynamically since 2005 and are worked with Comtoise horses. Vinification is performed without pumps or sulphite additions, and maturation uses 90% Burgundy barrels that have held several wines plus 10% new barrels. In 2018, large volumes and heterogeneous ripeness led the producer to harvest gradually in the cool mornings at optimum ripeness, enabling whole-grape vinification. The estate-level harvest period ran from 21 August–23 September.
