The peculiarity of this Chardonnay lies in its exceptional location. At the foot of the Montgenas hill in the Fleurie appellation, the soils are deep and sandy, composed of fine clay and pink granite. These 3 hectares, with a north-east exposure, are ideal for the development of a beautiful freshness and balance of flavors.
An outstanding Beaujolais white wine.

Terroir

Nestled on pink granite soil, this terroir is ideally exposed to the northeast. A clay vein in the subsoil at the foot of the slope gives the Chardonnay strength and minerality.

Viticulture

In addition to selected grass covering, the soil is enriched with homemade compost. The parcel is in one piece at the bottom of a hillside.

Vinification

The pressing takes place immediately after a brief cold storage. No Sulphur Dioxide is added during vinification. Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats on fine lees at a low temperature of about 17°C.

Special vintages

2018

An ideal year, characterized by a spring that alternated between sunshine and rain, and a perfectly sunny summer. Well-formed and compact clusters with optimal ripeness. Low yields.

2019 (BIO)

Another year with a lot of sun and rain. A harvest at maturity allowed the preservation of a necessary freshness. A wine with a superb golden color that perfectly illustrates this vintage year. Hints of white flowers of hawthorn and acacia, honey aromas and a very pleasant nose. Low yield.
