It is the fire of the sunny and even brighter exposure to the poor limestone soil that allows the wines not to sink into softness or heaviness. The wines are rich and opulent, but imbued with a fine salinity. A more generous Puligny than the other climates on the estate, with exotic notes of roasted hazelnut and honey.

Viticulture

The vines are now between 10 and 40 years old. Occupying 77 ares 79, the estate's plot is located on clay-limestone and iron soil. The Chalumaux grapes are precocious: as soon as the first rays of spring appear, they wake up and gallop to be the first in the cellar at harvest time.

Oenology

Hand-picked, rigorous sorting of the grapes before pressing. Direct pressing, decanting of the juice for 12 hours then racking directly into 228 litre oak barrels. The percentage of new oak and the length of maturation depend on the vintage. The wines are not fined or filtered.
