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.
Isabelle-Claire-eugénie de Habsbourg, also known as Isabella of Austria, was Catherine de Medicis’ maternal granddaughter, and Charles Quint’s paternal granddaughter. She was Duchess of Burgundy for over 35 years until her death on December 1s, 1633.
