The word of the vintage : 2022 offers us what Burgundy knows how to do best: a vintage that is both qualitative and generous! The vine resisted very well a rather extreme weather, knowing how to take advantage of the slightest shower. The bud break, later than in recent years, partially protected the vineyard from the frost of April. Then, thanks to the subtle balance it maintains with the terroir of Burgundy, the vine has passed through four heatwave episodes without damage and a general lack of water. This vintage offers wines with a nice concentration and nice balances. White wines are distinguished by their roundness, suppleness and complexity. The reds are very colorful, supple in the mouth, with beautiful concentrations carried by silky tannins. Finally, this vintage surprises: despite the very warm conditions of the year, its aromas of fresh fruit and its pretty vivacity open a beautiful future for it.
Terroir : Magnificent clay-limestone terroir facing south-east, on the first hillside overlooking the village of Saint-Martin under Montaigu. This sector gives early maturity to the grapes. Vines planted in the 1960s to 1990s (3.17 hectares).
Method of culture : The vines are managed using organic farming. Mechanical tillage. They are cut in simple guyot with long chopsticks and disbudded every other eye, thus the clusters end up beautiful and airy.
Vinification : Manual harvest. Vinification in barrels.
Elevage : Aging for 14 months in a Burgundy style (25% of one wine and 75% of two wines or more)
