Located near Clos de la Roche, its soil is very thin. The Vieilles Vignes cuvée produces dense, complex, and smooth wines, made from small clusters affected by millerandage. 2022 is a warm, high-quality vintage. Following a mild and dry winter, the late budbreak protected the vines from the April frosts. Warm weather set in from mid-April and continued through a sunny, at times scorching summer. Rainfall in June and August helped alleviate water stress. The harvest began as early as September 1 at the estate. This excellent year produces deep, ripe, full-bodied, and tannic wines. 2023 is a generous and balanced vintage in the Côte de Nuits. After a mild winter and a spring marked by contrasting weather, the hot and sunny summer—punctuated by a few showers—allows for optimal and even phenolic ripening. The harvest begins on September 9 at the estate, yielding seductive, deep, and persistent wines. The supple, mouth-watering tannins give these wines aging potential spanning several decades.
