Place & Vines
  • Chardonnay from the Segrois sector in the elevated Hautes-Côtes de Nuits.
  • The broader Coteaux Bourguignons denomination gives the cuvée freedom to foreground place and cellar interpretation.
  • Fruit is sorted in the vineyard and harvested into small five- kilogram crates.
  • The naturally cool setting supports tension, freshness and mineral definition.
Vinification
  • Fermentation relies exclusively on indigenous yeasts.
  • The domaine follows a minimal-intervention approach without corrective additions.
  • Ceramic vessels provide a neutral environment that keeps the Chardonnay clear, precise and free from obvious oak influence.
Aging Style

The domaine's white wines have been shaped in approximately 400-litre ceramic jars since 2022. This neutral élevage builds a supple texture while maintaining a straight, energetic line and clean mineral expression.

Style & Structure

A mineral, quietly expressive Chardonnay with a supple entry and a firm, precise core. Ceramic aging favors purity, freshness and textural clarity, making the wine an agile alternative to a more overtly oak-shaped white Burgundy.

Key Factors
  • A high-country Chardonnay from the Segrois sector.
  • Indigenous yeasts reinforce the domaine's transparent cellar approach.
  • Ceramic jars preserve freshness and texture without adding wood flavor.
