The Chardonnay grapes come from Lieu Dit Le Trezin in the Puligny Montrachet appellation. The vines spread across five plots, and located at the top of the hill, above the Premier Crus of Champ Gain and La Garenne have an average age of about 60 years and benefit from a calcareous soil scattered on the surface with small white stones. After fermentation in barrels and a rest period on the lees for 12 months, the wine remains in the tank for 6 months before blending and bottling.
