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.

Elisabeth de Valois, often called Elisabeth de France, died at the age of 23, on October 3rd, 1568. Her marriage by proxy to Philip II at age 14 made her Queen of Spain, Naples and Sicily, as well as Duchess of Burgundy.
