All the grapes are hand-picked and lightly pressed using an air press without destemming.
After that, the wine is left to delaminate (to allow impurities to settle) at low temperature for 24 to 36 hours, after which it undergoes alcoholic fermentation in barrels.

A new creator who will inherit the future

It was started in 2005 by brothers Marc and Alexandre who rebuilt their grandfather and father's domaine. Although the domaine is based in Maranges, it has a very strong lineup of white wines from the Côte de Beaune, including Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Meursault. They first built a building behind their house to carry out everything from fermentation to aging. At that location, the wine is aged in barrels for a year and then left in contact with the lees for about six months in a tank.

Also, they usually allow the lees to be stirred until the malolactic fermentation is finished. It sometimes lasts for 1-2 months. The ratio of new barrels is modest, with around 50% new barrels used for Premier Cru and more for Batard and Bienvenue. By using soft, lightly toasted barrels, we avoid giving the wine an excessively roasted aroma.

The brothers attracted attention from the French media with their mellow and rich debut vintage in 2005. Looking at the evaluations over the past few years, they have shown steady improvement, and it can be said that this is a maker that we should keep an eye on in the future.
