From a magnificent hillside terroir that deserves to be better known, this superb Beaune-Coucherias is a generous wine, with the false sweetness of the best noiriens, with a rare ripeness and fullness of fruit that only grapes picked at perfect maturity on a great terroir can provide. An absolute must of the commune, but it will be difficult to wait for it, so much it is a delight on the fruit!

Technique

Viticulture

The estate is located in Chorey-lès-Beaune, at the foot of the vineyards. The vines (about 12 hectares) are worked according to the nature of the soil (ridging, simple clawing, or a combination of the two), no weedkillers being used.

Oenology

The grapes are harvested by hand, in small crates. A first sorting is done on the vines, then a vibrating table before and after de-stemming. Vinification lasts about 15-20 days with a cold pre-fermentation maceration. The red wines are settled and then put into barrels with 30% new barrels in the village, 50% in the 1er cru and 70% in the grand cru. The malos are made in the spring and then the wines are racked to be bottled after 15 months, without filtration.
