Our 2.23 ha vineyard is located in the commune of Arcenant. High vines (6’), low density, at an altitude of 400 meters.
Limestone and marls from the Jurassic period.
We use traditional vineyard management based on sustainability principles.
We engage in selective pruning, along with optimized leaf pulling, green harvest when needed, and ploughing of the soils.
Because of the altitude, the harvest starts an average 2 weeks after the rest of the estate.
The grapes, once cut, are brought back to the winery in less than 20 minutes.
100% manual harvesting.
Winemaking
For the winemaking process, we use stainless steel tanks and oak barrels.
Cold maceration (5°C) is done for about 3-5 days to extract flavor and color. During that time, we do some remontage (pump over) to keep a good contact between solid and liquid parts. After 5 days, the tanks are heated up to 25-30°C for over 10 days.
The wood for the oak barrels come primarily from forests of Chatillonais and Fontainebleau. Two thirds of this wine is aged in wood for an average of 12 months (10% new oak).
Tasting notes
Cherry red in color, with hints of ruby. The nose releases notes of cherry, blackcurrant raspberry, wild strawberry.
In the mouth, the attack is smooth and forthright, with chewy tannins. Perfect with grilled red meat, or a chicken recipe with mushrooms.
The finish is rich, with hints of licorice, sometimes evolving to spicy aromas.
Chamoblle Musigny
100% Pinot Noir
Our 0.39 ha vineyard is split between various parcels in the Southern part of the appellation.

Deep color between crimson and purple, dark and luminous. It develops aromas of violet and small fruits (Morello cherry, blackcurrant).

Acidity and chewiness are harmoniously balanced, with licorice in the finish.
Gevrey Chambertin
100% Pinot Noir
Brown calcic or limey soils. The vines also reap the benefit of marls covered with screes and red silt washed down from the plateau.
These stony mixtures confer elegance and delicacy on the wine while the clayey marls, which contain rich deposits of fossil shell-fish, add body and firmness

Its color is the deep, dark red with mauve highlights which caused Victor Hugo to speak of it as “night in combat with day”. Its aromas are redolent of blackberry, bilberry, or gooseberry, cherry pit and ripe plum. At full maturity, after 5 to 10 years of cellaring, it tends towards leather, chocolate and pepper. In exceptional years, the wine can age and improve much longer.
