Tasting
by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
The colour of the wine is bright and limpid. The nose is floral and fruity. Very straightforward and direct on the palate, as if biting into a grape. Fresh and light, with a very pleasant aftertaste.
Vintage
2023 stands out as one of the hotest years in Burgundy, even surpassing 2022.
The grapes were harvested at perfect maturity.
The wines are very aromatic with notes of yellow fruits mingling with flower hints. The palate is ample and full-bodied.
They combine generosity, freshness, and finesse, with a climate that enhances the terroirs without overpowering them.
Like 2022, the 2023 vintage is expected to be highly appealing.
Winemaking
Supply: this wine comes from grapes and musts purchased from supply partners according to rigorous specifications.
Harvest: grapes harvested by hands or with the grape harvester.
Vinification: pneumatic pressing, the whites go directly into vats after settling.
Ageing: the alcoholic fermentation and ageing are carried out in vats during 6 to 10 months.
Throughout the ageing process, decisions are taken only after careful tasting evaluation. The data obtained is completed through technical analysis. As with every other Joseph Drouhin wine, absolute priority is given to the true expression of terroir and character of the vintage.
