ORIGIN


The Coteaux Bourguignons covers the same ground as that of the appellation for Burgundy. It covers 384 communes in the Yonne, Côte d’Or, Saône et Loire and Rhône départements. It begins in the Chablis and Auxerrois region in the north, stretching south to the Macon area through Côte d’Or and the Côte Chalonaise. The harvest for the Coteaux Bourguignons White represents around 20,000 hectolitres covering 350 hectares.

Our grapes come from the Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and the north of the Mâconnais. Hand-picked from vineyards with south-east and south-facing slopes, at altitudes of between 250 and 600 metres, on soils made up of clay and marl with granitic touches.


VINIFICATION AND MATURING


The grapes are first sorted and then pressed when they arrive at the winery. The musts are settled and then vinified in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats using selected yeasts. The vinification temperature is between 16° and 18°C, allowing optimum extraction of the wine's aromatic potential.

The wine is then matured in stainless steel vats on its lees for 6 to 8 months. Malolactic fermentation is complete, making the wine more supple.


Vintage : 2023


The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
