Bourgogne Chardonnay "Signature"

Grape variety

Chardonnay

Origin

Grapes mainly come from plots located in the Mâconnais. As the south of Burgundy benefits from a sunnier climate, we obtain very rich and ripe grapes from vines between 15 and 40 years old.

Soil

Limestone rich in calcium

Vinification

Traditional vinification: Pressing and settling is done directly by vine growers who have been our partners for many years. The best musts are then blended to craft a Bourgogne Chardonnay that is powerful, elegant and fresh. The cuvée is then seeded in yeast and chilled at 15 ° before being sent to our Savigny Les Beaune site for being fed into 228L oak barrels. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in oak barrels.
Ageing in oak barrels for 10 months ; 25% new oak; 25% oak barrels used once ; 25% used 2 times ; 25% used 3 times. Regular stirring and ullage to gain in richness and roundness. Natural malolactic fermentation which brings complexity to the wine.
