From vineyard to glass
I.
The vineyard
The vineyard is located in the village of Chablis, on the Kimmeridgian — the upper layer of the Jurassic composed of clay and limestone — with a southeast exposure. We practice a reasoned approach to viticulture having obtained the HVE level 3 label, which translates into ploughing which activates the organic and microbial life of the soil, partial grassing on certain plots and the use of natural fertilizers and treatments against diseases.
II.
Winemaking
After a long and delicate pressing and a cold settling of about twenty hours, fermentation takes place around 16 to 18°C using indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is carried out on fine lees from November to mid-April, followed by light fining and earth filtration for a clear, stable wine before bottling at the estate. Aging takes place exclusively in thermoregulated stainless steel vats, preserving freshness and fruitiness while allowing low-temperature fermentation that best develops the wine’s aromas.

Tasting notes
Premier Cru Mont de Milieu is one of Chablis’s most historic and renowned climats. Its Kimmeridgian soils give Chardonnay depth, finesse and mineral expression, with notes of ripe fruit and citrus on a generous palate and a long saline finish.
