Vineyards

Chassagne-Montrachet, situated in the south of the Côte de Beaune, is one of the 5 villages of the prestigious 'Côte des Blancs'. Oriented East and South East, the soil of the Premiers Crus in Chassagne is mainly composed of clay and limestone. Overhanging the valley which separates the Mont Rachet and Chassagne, Chenevottes vineyard is situated on a shallow and stony ground.

Vintage

At the end of 2020 the rainfall was abundant and the reserves of water in the soil over the course of winter exceeded the 30-year norm. Winter temperatures swung back and forth between cold snaps and mild weather. The weather remained cool throughout April and on into the end of May and in most areas, it took the vines around a month to recover from the frosts and begin their growth cycle anew. May saw heavy rainfall. Temperatures rose in June and flowering took place in very good conditions mid-month. The pace of the flowering was fast and broadly homogenous across all areas and both varieties. This was a key indicator for the ripening potential for the grapes in the aftermath of the frosts.
