Champs de l'Abbaye

Monthelie Blanc 'Les Sous Roches' Soil: Oxford white marl. The extremely draining nature of the soil, combined with the repeated climatic incidents that this area has experienced for several years has made the production of this wine long and complicated. Exposition: East. The vines are planted on a very steep slope beneath a rock bank (“Les Sous Roches”). This dominant position offers a magnificent view of the vineyards of Monthélie, Meursault, and the Bresse plain. First Planting: In 2012 from massive selections of Chardonnays and qualitative clones. Plant Density: 11,000 vines/ha Harvest: Very small first harvest in 2017 (10 hl / ha), 6 years after planting. Vinification: Pneumatic pressing of the whole harvest. Natural yeasts. Alcoholic (11 months) and malolactic fermentation in barrels (30% new). Light fining and filtration on pure cellulose plates. Tasting Notes: Pure with little sulfur. Dry, clear, & precise character. Subtle fruit, prominent mineral flavors, and firm acidity.
