- Philosophy Since 2019, these old vines of Pommard premier cru Les Chaponnières have been the first to be entirely cultivated by our house, which gives us better control over the technical process, better control of the quality of the grapes, and a closer link with nature and the land.
- Terroir Located at the southern exit of this legendary village, at the foot of the hill, immediately below the famous "Rugiens", Les Chaponnières is one of the most beautiful "premier cru" terroirs of Pommard. The clay soils are deep, a depth that is found in the wines. Our vine, around 80 years old, made up of old, well-rooted gnarled vines, seems to have found a perfect balance, insensitive to the passing years. Its grapes produce a wine that expresses the depth and complexity of its terroir.
- Vinification and ageing The grapes were handpicked at their peak of ripeness and brought to the winery in small crates, then carefully sorted and completely destemmed. After a few days of cold maceration, fermentation got underway naturally under the influence of indigenous yeasts. Maceration lasted 24 days punctuated by daily pump-overs in the beginning of cuvaison and punchdowns at the end of cuvaison. The wine was then aged in finely-grained French oak barrels for 15 months using 60 % new oak.
- Tasting notesGorgeous deep red in colour with garnet nuances, endowed with pleasing and promising viscosity. The nose is intense and expressive, evocative of floral scents (rose, peony). Then come delectable notes that impart a certain sucrosity (vanilla-scented cherry clafoutis, fruit coulis). Full-bodied and fresh, the start to the palate boasts pleasing tautness and structured tannins. Warm flavours of white chocolate, nougat and notes of beeswax intermingle harmoniously. Elegant spicy finish. This wine is endowed with character and lovely acidity that make it ideal for laying down. It will reveal its full potential as it ages.
