- Vineyard Notes
-
This small parcel, known as a 'clos', formerly belonged to the Kings of France. It was considered as one of the appellation's best parcels and was purchased by the Faiveley family in 1971. This wine could be compared to a Côte de Nuits village in terms of its delicate tannins and length on the palate. Exposition: South, Sout-West. Soil: Clay-limestone, white marls.

- Vintage Notes
-
2005 was an outstanding vintage in every way: perfectly ripe grapes resulting in exceptional structure and precision on the palate. Excellent cellaring potential.

- Winemaking
-
The grapes are cut harvested and sorted by hand. The proportion of de-stemmed grapes and whole clusters varies depending on the vintage. The wines are pumped over twice daily in order to extract colour, tannins and aromas from the skin of the grapes. After a 15 to 19 day vatting period, the alcoholic fermentation is complete. The free-run wine is run off using a gravity system whilst the marc is pressed slowly and gently in order to extract an exceptionally pure press wine.

- Ageing
-
The wines are aged for 15 months in French oak barrels (30% of which are new oak) which have been selected for their fine grain and moderate toast. The wines are left to age in our cellars at consistent, natural hygrometry and temperature.

Vintage quality: Legendary
Current condition: Ready to drink
The 2005 vintage for Burgundy was simply superb.
The growing season began with a warm, easy spring that saw both an early budburst and flowering. Both June and July were dry with high temperatures until August saw temperatures dip a bit and September saw some sporad...
