Terroir : Our 1,9 hectares of Premiers Cru vineyard "Les Chenevottes" is located next door to the famous Terroir "Le Montrachet". The soil is mostly constituted of clay and limestone with the famous stone of Chassagne and is clearly mineral. The vineyards have a peculiar aspect. They are constituted of small blocs entangled into each other. With its South-West exposure, on the road to Saint Aubin, this plot benefits from the fresh air which conveys to the wine very pure and refreshing aromas.

Tasting : Gold colour. Intense aromas of citrus peel mixed with apricot and white peach on a hint of vanilla. Complex and well-structured. Precise and sappy texture. Long and elegant finish.

Food pairing : Foie gras, seafood, grilled fish or fish in sauce, regional cheeses (Citeaux, Epoisses, Brillat-Savarin) as well as certain goat's cheeses.
