Vintage 2024
The 2024 vintage in the Côte Chalonnaise is emerging as both limited and remarkably promising. Despite a challenging season marked by frost, hail, and intense mildew pressure, the grapes ultimately reached satisfying ripeness thanks to a luminous, steady August. The Chardonnays display finely sculpted profiles, carrying vibrant freshness, bright citrus nuances, and a confidently expressed minerality. The Pinot Noirs, though produced in modest quantities, show a deep garnet hue, delicate red‑berry aromatics, and an elegant framework supported by refined, silky tannins. Winemaking has been precise and controlled, with clean fermentations and harmonious balances already taking shape. Volumes may be low, but quality stands out clearly. A vintage defined by meticulous work and exacting craftsmanship—one that will captivate enthusiasts of Burgundian finesse.
Jeanne la Folle, Joanna the Mad, Juana la Loca, Johanna die Wahnsinnige : anyone can give a name to Jeanne Ist of Castile, duchesse de Bourgogne. And take over the insane destiny of her novel character, whose everlasting love leads her to madness. But was she really foolish or is she rather the embodiment of man folly ?
