Their values have remained unchanged over the last seven generations and are based on a deep attachment to the Bourgogne region, an instinctive passion for the terroirs, and an innate respect for man and his work. Today they are one of the largest owners in Burgundy, with holdings spreading from the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise, featuring polished, collectible reds and whites with exceptionally high ratings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSituated on the northern Nuits-Saint-Georges hillside, this climat produces wines characterized by their delicate and elegant aromas.

Budburst began in early April, with flowering by mid June. Drier, sunnier weather in July and August supported slow, even ripening, and veraison started around mid August. Harvest took place in mild conditions, with a warm north wind in mid-September helping concentrate sugars. Overall, the vintage was defined by a long, gradual, and balanced growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThis vintage, 25% whole clusters were added to the fermentation vessel. The wines are punched down daily in order to extract color, tannins and aromas from the skin of the grapes. After a 19 day vatting period, the alcoholic fermentation is complete. The free-run wine is run off using a gravity system whilst the marc is pressed slowly and gently in order to extract an exceptionally pure press wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDark ruby red in color with red fruit aromas and roasted, smoky notes on the nose.
