Certified High Environmental Value (HVE) Level 3, the estate is distinguished by the close proximity of its plots.

The Vineyard

The vineyard from which this cuvée originates lies in the heart of the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation, within the historic Château block, on a clay-limestone soil typical of the Côte de Beaune. The vines, up to 75 years old, are farmed using sustainable viticulture practices, without herbicides, with partial grass cover and mechanical soil cultivation, as part of the estate's HVE Level 3 certification.

Winemaking and Maturation

The Chassagne-Montrachet Village "Château de Chassagne-Montrachet" 2023 cuvée comes from a manual harvest in small crates of 30 kg maximum. The whole bunches are pressed in a pneumatic press, then the juice, cold-settled, is transferred by gravity into oak barrels. Alcoholic fermentation takes place entirely in barrel, using indigenous yeasts, followed by 10 months of maturation in French oak barrels, 20% of which are new, with regular lees stirring.
