Vineyards & Viticulture
As a result of severe crop loss in the 2021 vintage, barrels were at risk of being left empty, which is not good for sanitation or the health of the wood. Since each barrel is used over ten years, maintaining their integrity was of the upmost importance. Emmanuel made the choice to source from this 30-year-old vineyard in the Languedoc (sites are in organic conversion with certification in 2023), had a partner make the wine, and brought it to Burgundy to age and bottle at the Guillot-Broux estate.
