The Vineyard

In the south of the Côte de Nuits, in the town of Comblanchien, the Climat “les Grandes Vignes” is located high on the hillside and faces east. Its lean clay soil, resting on Comblanchien limestone, brings freshness and structure to the wine.

The Vintage

2022 is synonymous with a vintage of great quality and the return of satisfying volumes.

After a mild and dry winter, the growing season arrived early. Spared by the April frost, the warm spring accelerated plant growth, favoring early flowering and optimal fruit set.  After particularly dry spells during winter and spring, late June rains were timely. A hot, dry and at times scorching summer allowed for a good ripening, although in places the vines did react to hydric stress.

Mid-August rainfall will be decisive by constant sunshine until the harvests, which started on 25th August in the Côte de Beaune and 2nd September in the Côte de Nuits.
