Corton Blanc
2022
Three parcels make up the 0.5578 hectares of vines (planted in 1980, 1991 and 1998) producing this grand cru white Corton.
Two are in the Bressandes climat (red soil) and a minority is in Les Chaumes, just below the famous Corton-Charlemagne.
The soils are cultivated using only our horses, and treatments are carried out by tracked vehicle, so no tractors enter the land. After a vertical pressing, the wine is vinified in 10 hectolitre tuns and demi-muids if necessary. The wine is then matured in the same containers for 20 to 30 months.

Vintage 2022
Here, we're back to a generous, sunny vintage. A very dry, hot spring and summer could have taken their toll on the vines, but they were resilient, adapted very well and produced an exceptional vintage.
The wines are rich and generous, without lacking finesse or complexity. Just what you'd expect from a fine Pinot-Noir from our region. The harvest took place from August 25 to September 10, and was relatively abundant. The grapes were very healthy and required little sorting; one vintage follows another and no two are alike.
