Vineyards & Viticulture
From a single 0.20 hectare parcel, ideally positioned halfway up the slope and abutting Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze.

Soils
Limestone rock and a fine layer of marl with a high content of stones and gravel

Harvest & Vinification
The grapes are harvested into small plastic crates and undergo triple sorting upon arriving at the estate. Arnaud partly destems the fruit (40% whole cluster fermentation with old vines) and tastes everything daily during vinification using native yeasts. The wine is aged in oak barrels (80% new, 20% one-year-old, from Tonnelleire François Frères) for 18 months on fine lees and is racked into stainless vats for the last six months of elevage.
