Information

Bourgogne Aligoté “Les Monts de Fussey”

The vineyard - The lieu-dit “Les Monts de Fussey” is situated above the village of Echeveronne, just below Fussey. It is at the borderline of Hautes Côtes de Beaune and Nuits but still on the side of Hautes Côtes de Beaune. Among our Hautes Côtes de Beaune parcels, it is the lowest in altitude at 400 meters. It faces southeast on a moderate slope, with very stony limestone-marl soil. The high active calcium content in the soil is a stress factor for the vines that results in weak vigor and limited yield.

As the row width is 2.5 meters, we limit the plowing to only around the vines with a lightweight caterpillar tractor and we leave 1.5 meters’ width of permanent natural cover crop in the middle of the rows.

In our Hautes Côtes parcels we generally engage a contractor to mulch the mid- row with his heavyweight tractor only twice, at the beginning and the end of the growing season, as we don’t own any tractor. Otherwise there’s no other heavy mechanic intervention. This all contributes to limiting soil compaction. As far as the rest of the farming goes, it’s comparable to that applied in “Les Chagniots”. We farm organically, using phytotherapy approaches researched and recommended by Eric Petiot. As far as spraying goes, minimal copper is used against downy mildew and low-fat milk against powdery mildew, with zero sulfur use. The vineyard is plowed by horse by Gilbert Simond. The soil is tilled from mid-April to mid-July only, with no tilling for the other 8 months of the year.

The Wine - Carbonic maceration with whole bunches for a week before pressing, with no added sulfur until July 2021. Nose: intense with ripe yellow fruit. Palate: complex, salty, mineral. Aromas of ripe pear. (by Chanterêves)
