This sunny terroir is located just above Clos de Tart and represents a geological symphony. Its soil, strewn with outcrops of rock in places, bears witness to a rare mineral richness. Extremely low in organic matter, this terroir gives the wine an exceptionally deep minerality. Here, the roots of the vines plunge deep into the rocky soil, absorbing the mineral complexity of their environment. The wines from this plot are crystalline, reflecting the influence of the ancient stones in the soil, which impart a distinctive character, exceptional minerality and purity.

The 2023 Vintage: Balance, Finesse, and Elegance
2023 will be remembered as an exceptional year, marked by an endless summer and record-breaking temperatures, making it the hottest year ever recorded. Despite these extreme conditions, this vintage stands out for its remarkable balance, finesse, and elegance.
A Dry Start and a Beneficial Spring
The autumn of 2022 and winter of 2023 saw a significant water deficit, with 80% fewer rainfall in February. The spring, with its rains and near-normal temperatures, encouraged steady vine growth and a uniform bud break in April.
Harmonious Flowering and Promising Veraison
May and June saw alternating storms and sunshine, ensuring rapid and uniform flowering. The late June rains (up to 100 mm in Chambolle-Musigny) provided the necessary hydration without causing hail or significant damage. Veraison, initially slowed by the drought in August, picked up pace with the late-August rains and was further accelerated by the heat in early September.
Harvest in Beautiful Weather
Beginning on September 11, the perfectly ripened grapes were harvested over the course of ten days under consistently beautiful weather (20 to 28°C). Carefully controlled yields ensured grapes of excellent quality.
A Promising Autumn
Regular rainfall through late October replenished the groundwater, preparing the terroir for future vintages.
A Remarkable Vintage
Despite the climatic challenges, 2023 delivers wines of perfect balance, subtle finesse, and great elegance.

While the 2021 growing season concludes with a sunny summer, its beginning was marked by two devastating frosts that deeply affected the vines and threatened the upcoming harvest. That year, Burgundy experienced a relatively mild winter. In spring, after significant frosts in early April, the return of fine weather provided ideal conditions for flowering. A few weeks later, early summer was characterized by heavy rains and persistent humidity. By August, however, dry and radiant weather persisted for three consecutive weeks, promoting optimal fruit ripening. By late September, the grapes reached perfect ripeness, prompting the harvest to begin on September 23rd. The production from this capricious vintage is exclusive. Evocative, with finesse and elegance, the wines reveal exceptional freshness and present beautiful volume on the palate.
Tasting notes :
The wine reveals a fresh bouquet of red fruits, complemented by a refined texture, where concentrated mineral-infused flavours display excellent delineation on a pure, long, and youthfully austere finish.

This exceptional vintage, produced in very limited quantities due to the intense summer heat, harks back to the glorious past of great Burgundies. After a wet and mild winter, the summer of 2020 was characterized by dry and hot conditions. During this period, the vines suffered from a lack of water from flowering onwards, leading to reduced yields. The harvest was notably early, beginning at the end of August, with an average production of 15 hl/hectare. This early and sunny vintage offers beautifully crafted wines, marked by remarkable freshness and tension, with a rare elegance of silky, refined tannins. This grand vintage deserves the care of extended cellaring to fully reveal its potential. However, its vibrant character and excellent balance also allow for enjoyment in its youth, showcasing notes of crisp fruit complemented by a delicate floral nuance.

Spring 2019 was marked by highly variable weather, alternating between fine conditions and episodes of low temperatures. The cool weather during flowering led to reduced yields due to run-off. However, after a scorching June and a hot, dry summer, the grapes ripened beautifully and were in exceptional condition, allowing the harvest to begin under favourable weather on September 17th. Produced in limited quantities, with the average yield across all our appellations in 2019 falling below 20 hl/hectare, this vintage delivered wines of exceptional quality. Despite the heat and dryness, the wines are rich, concentrated, and display excellent digestibility, freshness, length, and persistence. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated, showcasing remarkable balance, with impressive tension and minerality.
Tasting notes :
The wine is medium to full-bodied, with a fleshy charm and a pronounced core of juicy fruit, all elegantly supported by fine, velvety tannins.

Winter and early spring 2018 were notably rainy, allowing the vines to build up substantial water reserves. These reserves enabled the vines to endure the warm and sunny conditions of the latter half of spring. The vintage is also marked by an exceptionally hot and dry summer. Thanks to the winter’s water reserves, the grapes reached ideal ripeness, withstood the heat, and developed in exceptional health. The bunches were in perfect condition when harvesting began on September 3rd. This vintage is concentrated and complex, achieving excellent ripeness while maintaining its freshness. The wines are distinguished by their finesse and remarkable freshness, with a structured palate that reveals a myriad of aromas—a true virtuoso. This elegant and refined vintage has the potential to age for years, gradually revealing its full complexity.
Tasting notes :
The rich aroma carries hints of black cherry, plum, and a top note of pomegranate. The smooth and elegant medium-bodied flavours reveal a delicate mineral character on the slightly bitter cherry pit finale.

The 2017 wine year is distinguished by its superlative generosity. Following a dry and cold winter, the spring proved mild and rain-free. The vines enjoyed pleasant weather conditions, with temperatures up to 6°C above the norm. The summer, marked by warm and dry weather, contributed to the fruit achieving an ideal state of health. Yields were very generous, and after reducing yields through "green harvesting," the optimal ripeness of the grapes led to the harvest beginning on September 7th. The wines from the 2017 vintage are elegant and refined, with a beautiful tension, silky tannins, and great aromatic complexity.
Tasting notes :
A fresh nose combines notes of various red berries, earthly tones and subtle floral hints. There is both energy and refinement to the overtly mineral-inflected flavours thanks to the delicate tannins. The finale is refreshing with a core of bright acidity adding depth.
