The variety of the reputed white wines of Burgundy: Chardonnay.
Terroir
The wines grow on a clay-limestone soil , with rocks as it is located nearby an old quarry as there were many on the Côte.
Origine du nom
Literally, “Champs Pimonts” means the fields at the foot of the Montagne de Beaune. The parcel is surrounded by walls, hence the name of Clos.
Vinification
We bring in the grapes in small crates to keep them intact. The pressing is carried out with a pneumatic press which is less damaging to the grapes. The whole grapes are placed in the press and the pressing lasts for two hours. After 24 hours’ settling at low temperatures, the grape juice is transferred into barrels to ferment, the proportion of new barrels being 20%. Ageing on lees with stirring lasts until July and the wine is bottled after 12 months of ageing.
