Spanning about 10 ha, it emphasizes hand-harvesting, low yields, and minimal intervention. The domaine has earned acclaim for delivering textured, site‑driven Chardonnay that clearly reflects each unique lieu‑dit. Their meticulous approach to terroir expression and sustainable farming has garnered high praise from both critics and collectors.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSylvain and Nathalie personally oversee vineyard and cellar operations, maintaining strict control over quality. Grapes are hand-picked and fermented with indigenous yeasts in a blend of stainless steel and oak barrels. Around 20–30% new oak is used during an 11–12 month aging period. Lees contact adds creaminess while preserving freshness, with only light filtration before bottling to maintain purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe “Les Pierres” lieu-dit sits mid-slope in Chassagne-Montrachet, planted on limestone-rich, well-drained soils. With its east‑southeast exposure and continental Burgundy climate—warm afternoons and cool nights—it nurtures balanced phenolic ripeness and pronounced minerality. The vineyard’s elevation and chalky subsoil lend tension and clarity to the final wine.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eHand-harvested fruit is gently pressed and fermented with its native yeasts.
