Snow

While our wines are slowly starting their malolactic fermentation phase, our two beautiful Solutré and Vergisson Rock cliffs find themselves under the snow. How not to be contemplating front of this view ?

2010 Harvest

Today the September 23rd, 2010 it's D-day. During a week our harvesters' team is going to collect the fruit of a year of labour. After a slw maturation, we will pick a small quantity of grapes this year. A light sorting will be necessary to keep only the best. Then as every year Thierry Drouin goes himself take care of the wine making. His point of view is rather optimistic for this harvest, by keeping naturally big reserves.
The 2009's are finally bottled, and at the expected level. A very expressive vintage which will know how to seduce the largest number.

Vintage 2009

The harvest for the vintage 2009 is finished on September 20th with a sunshine.
The quality of 2009 is exceptionnal.
Actually, the wine is making the fermentation.
