COMMENT
Based in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis, this domaine owns 18 hectares in the Côte de Nuits. Frédéric, the fifth generation owner, has been proactively implementing biodynamic farming methods and improving the quality of his wines with his own unique methods, such as using wooden barrels and terracotta jars for aging. He is highly regarded by other winemakers and is one of the leading winemakers in the Côte de Nuits today.
This 1er Cru vineyard is located just below the Grand Cru "Clos Saint-Denis". The vineyard is on a steep slope and the soil contains shell fossils.
WINEMAKING
Since the 2015 vintage, approximately 40% of the wine is aged in terracotta jars called "jars," and the remaining 60% is aged in wooden barrels.
