- The fruit for the Chassagne-Montrachet comes from Chardonnay vines averaging 30 years old, sourced from six to eight different parcels across the region, some even adjacent to Premier Cru sites.
- Grapes are hand-harvested, whole-cluster pressed, and undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in larger 350L barrels.
- The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (with about 25% new oak) and then spends an additional 6 months on its lees in stainless steel tanks before being bottled unfiltered.
